Okay, so my foot is in the door. I passed my Technician test today. Now to look for a radio. I have recently been looking at the WouXun KG-UV9D. One of the guys at the local club told me that for $180 I should get a Yaesu FT-60. I am looking for as much radio as I can get for as little price as possible. They told me that the Yaesu is a solid product, and WouXun isn't. I am looking for popular opinion. One of the things I like about the KG-UV9D is being able to listen to 2 bands at the same time. I have seen many good reviews, but you know that everything on the Internet is true, ha ha. The guys in the club told me I could also get my feet wet with a $35 Baofeng (throw away model). I am not sure how to proceed, please help. I am looking forward to a lot of opinions. Thank you all in advance
