Got the Baofeng and the callsign, in that order. Got licensed because it costs around $10 for the exam with no mandatory classes and to use Echolink. Don't see much point in it as I don't like to talk and the funny chatter is on the unlicensed bands anyway. Seriously, PMR446 near hotels and nightclubs is pure gold. Local gangsters' seating preferences, awkward staff romance, weird room service orders, you name it.
