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.

Thanks, my father has mentioned wanted to get into amateur radio so I grabbed one of these and the number of the local group. And since they were so cheap, I grabbed one for me and might go for my license by the end of the summer.
