They’re cheap, poor-fidelity, horrible propagation radios with handfuls of bugs (the one I bought years ago has a lot of trouble with frequency bleed).
But they’re also now less than $20 USD on Amazon.

I saw this and am now lurking on the local repeaters while I study for a Tech license - couldn’t resist the deal for a “starter” radio, and it seems to work pretty well. I tried and gave up on the Code stuff back in the 70s, but since I am an electrical engineer, the only learning curve I have for the test now is the ham legalities and culture.
Thanks for the pointer!
