You can do it the legal way or the illegal way. The choice is up to you. If you need something for emergency purposes then a cell phone fits the bill.

Remember that this a hobby.  If you decide to go at it legally then you'll just have to put up with all the illegal's(outlaws).

Or you can study for a ham exam and amps would be legal within certain parameters. These guys on this forum are trying to steer you right and have some excellent recommendations for a good transceiver. So just keep asking questions and they try to get you pointed in the right direction.

Personally I have a Galaxy DX-959 that I use as a base station and for Am use mainly. My everyday mobile runner is a CRE-8900 that's good for ssb. Also I bought a Uniden Pro505XL cb radio that I had tuned and aligned when I purchased it. That and a good power mic will make this a fairly descent little radio. My 959 is LOUD with plenty of audio to spare.

Just listen to these guys and do some research then you can make an informed decision. Happy hunting! :thumbup1:
