Hello I'm a caregiver for developmentally disabled adults in Albany Oregon & one of my clients is infatuated with scanners & radios of all kinds and he's driving me up a wall about getting dialled Into ham radio. I know nothing about it and so i did the best I could with research and I got him a camouflage Baofeng uv-82hp to transmit/receive on ham radio locally. I understand that we need a technicians license, this is my first day on here & I'm looking for anyone who can point me out a resource that will help introduce myself to this, I'm uber intimidated by the abbreviations alone. I'd appreciate ANY pointers, is this even a suitable device for what he's interested in, & if not what (under $150) handheld ham would be best for this? We will get licensed, just don't want to go in blind and look foolish
