I joined this hobby recently and found that most of the activity has moved to digital radios that use a hotspot.
OpenSpot[0] is a high-end version but there are cheaper ones, too. These products create a tiny digital network in your house and act as a router/repeater for global ham networks. The digital radio + hotspot solution gets around the short range of handheld radios and lets you talk or listen with a global audience.
