Well I got lucky and my brother gave me an old handheld he was not using. I spent $100 for a membership in the local ham club which also go me a study guide and a 12 week course (Saturday mornings 3 hr). You could get a basic handheld BaoFeng UV-5R for under $50US and whatever study materials for US. I understand that US technician is not too hard to get. If you are interested contact a local ham radio club for help and connections on getting licensed. Check out this YT channel for alot of information about US ham radio:
