Ready, Set, Go! 

Begin by reading this guide from start to finish, even if you think
you already have a good idea of what radio you want. You might find
some material that changes your thinking a little bit, possibly
saving you some money or increasing your long-term satisfaction
with the equipment you select! Once you've finished, focus on the
frequency bands (VHF/UHF or HF) and type of operating (base, mobile,
portable, or handheld). Then make your list of "must-haves" and
"nice-to-haves" (useful features that aren't absolutely necessary).
Armed with catalogs and a Web browser, you're ready to start shopping
or take in a hamfest (a ham radio flea market and convention)! A
blank form to help you compare different radios is available for
downloading at www.arrl.org/choosingaradio/
