I let my license expire twenty years or so ago but recently took the test for
a new license and passed. I'll be getting it (an Extra) in a few weeks. I got
rid of my equipment years ago so have no radio gear. I got interested in Ham
radio again after joining the local Search and Rescue
A good HF radio +6m is the 100W Kenwood TS-480SAT - you can pick this up
second-hand. It is a very good performer and an excellent HF radio for
digital in general. Also the IC-703+ which is 10W and no mean machine.
As for VHF / UHF I'll let others make suggestions.

for local ragchews would be the thing. Or an old pre
warc radio.
Anyway I better do some more work now.
Good luck and welcome back to ham radio

For about $500 you can get a secondhand IC-706MKIIG and be able to work
SSB, CW, FM, or digital modes from 160m through UHF.
