Are you aware that it's illegal to "dabble" in that world without a license?

Not transmitting; just listening and figuring things out before taking the next step. I'm well aware.

For definitions of dabble that don't include transmitting, its most certainly not.

One of the best ways to get ready to take the Technician test is to buy a cheap handheld and figure out how to listen in on the local repeater. Being able to apply what you're reading in books to real world stuff is a fantastic learning opportunity.
