It looks like it’s time get a ham radio. I don’t know anything about them other than you can communicate with people globally, and you need a license. I understand that you need a transceiver, an amplifier, and antenna.

Should I go with a mobile ham radio or a stationary one?

Also, what equipment do you guys recommend? I want to be able to have the ability to scale as I accumulate licenses.

I’m sorry, I’m completely new and I learn the most from asking dumb questions.

Will the baofeng allow for me to pick up HF/VHF/UHF then? I think the main thing right now is being able to listen in to get information. Speaking would come later, but could be needed.
