Working on my ppl. Very early in the process I've got less than 10 hours. Just barely started working on radio communication today. Should I buy a handheld radio? If so which do you recommend? Do most people buy these for training or do they buy them for emergency situations? Or is this...

Fantastic. Excellent feedback. Gives me much to think about. Like many of you, I like to make one purchase and be happy about it.
