Study for your tech license with https://ham.study/ and learn how to use a baofeng uv5r/gt5r handheld. That's how I started on a budget. Don't overspend on the baofengs on amazon. They should realistically be around $25 not $60 and they are all almost the same.

Yeah it's an option in the initial setup.

I don't have any experience hosting matrix but I think it is quite a stretch for a pi zero.

Ima be honest with ya, I believe those cheaper yaesus are actually practically baofengs component wise. But, they are still a bit better due to some higher quality components and wayyyy better QC. Just wanted to throw this out there.

That is true, it goes the other way too. The only reason I can somewhat use an IPhone proficiently is because of the amount of tech support I have given for them.

I will say, some ROMs these days are practically maintenance free. I have been running graphene os for about 3 years now and I have never had issues updsting by just pressing the button.

Almost exactly my take on it. I just include monero.

Literally just started using k9 mail on my phone and it is amazing. It just does all of the setup for you.
