They are fine for starting out with, but you'll probably want to upgrade soon. There are better radios for around $75 if you can afford it.
What would you recommend? Is there a good mega thread here?
Most activity, I've seen here: !amateurradio@lemmy.ko4abp.com but there's a lemmy bug that's not showing a bunch of posts. That should be resolved soon.
These are good cheaper radios (The price has gone up a bit)

There's also !amateur_radio@lemmy.radio which is reasonably active.
