Hey! I am brand new to radios and was told this was the place to go in order to learn way more. So thanks for having me!
Both are good ways to dispose of all that pesky spare cash. You can also dispose of a lot of greenbacks by owning a Jeep...don't ask how I know that.It beats model railroading.

Welcome! What kind of radios are you interested in? If you have a scanner, what type is it? If you are interested in buying a scanner, let us know your location (city, county, state) and we can advise you on which ones will work.
Oh wow! What is it that you do, for a career I mean, if it's not too bold? That is awesome!!!Welcome. I became interested in radio at 13 and it has been good to me. Made a career out of it.
Well any advice is greatly appreciated and needed!! I am reading Ham for Dummies atm lol. I have poured over pages dealing with homemade antenna creation, stealth antennas, digital signals, (argh I am nearly certain my scanner is 'analogue' only, which means I cannot get the other signal?) Anyway, this subject has always fascinated me and now that I have been gifted these two radios, I am so excited!Welcome to RR! I've enjoyed my hobby of scanning the airwaves for 2 decades and am still learning new things about it. The RR forums are the only place I go to give and get advice about the vast world of radio.

That is pretty cool. That is a lot of experience lol. Thanks for sharing!Got my amateur radio technician class license at 14 and had my Extra by 17 which required 20 word per minute morse code test along with the written test (this was before all the questions and answers were provided to memorize). Got my 2nd class commercial radio
telephone at 18 and my 1st class commercial radiotelephone with radar endorsement at 19. I started working as an electronics assembler with Regency Electronics and because I got of my amateur radio license my 2nd and 1st class commercial license they trained me as factory trained repair technician within a few months of working there. Took a couple years to go from the theory to practical application in troubeshooting and repair but in the end I was the guy they brought the radios to when the other techs couldn't figure out what was wrong with them.
They eventually closed down but ever since I have been always been in electronics troubleshooting and repair and always moving up for higher pay wherever I went.
As the saying goes, if you do something you like for a living, you will never work a day in your life.
I will! Hopefully in the next two months, given my schedule and the testing center's availability.Welcome to the group,when you get your Ham Lic let us know here......
