I commented a long one up above. If you are going budget, you can look at China baofengs... great for getting your feet wet without spending a lot. Yaesu FTM-7250 if you want something better. Kenwood for American brand. Ham radio can get very expensive, it depends on what you want to do.
Which radio should I buy?

Those are thousand dollar radios, here's a dual band for $25 https://www.amazon.com/BaoFeng-UV-5R-Dual-Radio-Black/dp/B007H4VT7A/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=uv5r&qid=1610055755&sr=8-3
