Hi all, I passed the Technician and General tests last August. My intended use is with a mobile rig for on-trail communication and (God forbid) for calling for help if in-need while far off-road.
I am still assessing my actual needs, so I have not yet gotten a unit. I intend to review others' posts on this Forum, for radio selection ideas.

I was in the same boat. I bought a used Icom ID-51 hand held. Used because it slashes the price tag in half. Overall, it has fulfilled my needs and for ham radio, you always need a hand held. I would say, start there.
