I am seriously considering getting into the ham radio hobby. I've been somewhat interested for a while, but have not pulled the trigger. After visiting with my wifes uncle and talking to him about it, I am now interested. He's been a part of it for 60 plus years.
Would you suggest I study for and get my Tech license first? Or buy the equipment while I study.
As far as equipment, I am willing to spend around $250-$300.
I am thinking of a mobile unit with a power supply to allow me to use 110 home power.
Something like this but I am not stuck on it:

Any suggestions or help is appreciated.
