That's one of the reasons why I am not too interested in it all. Way too nerdy!
I just want to be allowed to buy a radio and push the button. But it's one of those skills that could come in handy if the world economy crashes completely.
If you don't learn at least the basics of radio technology, having the equipment will do you very little good in the long run. Kind of like knowing how to turn on a computer with no ability to do anything but send email. You've got to know what to do if the box gets all jammed up in some way.
