[TriLUG] Digital AM/FM/LW SSB SW Radio

[Roy Vestal]

One place to look is local HamFests as well.

Here are some online resources:
http://www.secondhandradio.com - Used equipment for sale.
http://www.eham.net/ehamforum/smf/index.php - Reviews of various radio 
equipment including receivers.

If you decide to get your license, there are a number of online study 
resources. I personally like this one (he a local VE): 
http://www.nc4fb.org - Right hand menu has study resources and free 
online practice exams.

HTH,
