@Shadow_of_Giant As someone else said, 2m & 70cm are the most common bands, pretty much all hams have a radio that covers one or both bands... but you still need to know where in the band you can transmit and what you can transmit. You can't just pick a frequency and transmit. There's more to it!

@Shadow_of_Giant Ham radio doesn't work like that. If you have the right license, you can use any accepted mode in the proper section of the band. You have to have the equipment, license, and knowledge to know where in the band & when to transmit to reach the other station & when/where not to.

@Shadow_of_Giant 5/ At minimum you'll need an appropriate antenna for the radio, coax cable to join the radio and antenna, and a power supply. The person you're communicating with will also require a similar setup. A handheld VHF/UHF transceiver will give you about a mile range in the city ...

@Shadow_of_Giant 4/ and the knowledge to use their radios. The following is vastly simplified... You'll need to decide what type of radio you want: HF for longer distance (worldwide), or VHF/UHF for more local (station-to-station, up to 50 miles with a good antenna) communications. ...

@Shadow_of_Giant 2/ The entry-level Technician Class license will get you privileges on VHF and above and limited privileges on HF, so we always recommend upgrading to the General Class license for worldwide communications. Ham radio isn't just about turning on a radio and transmitting: ...
