With a budget of 3000 yuan, you can buy a walkie-talkie. As long as you don't buy a high-end Motorola device, you can choose any handheld radio and develop your skills freely.
However, don't panic.
With a budget of 3000, even if I don't meet the initial requirements, it's still possible to get started with shortwave. The requirement of 3000 is unnecessary; it's not impossible, but the initial barrier is too high.

If I'm just looking for a device that offers both playability and good value, I would buy the Winno N76.
Should I buy a digital radio? After I've had some experience with analog radios, and if I have the funds and the time, and also see that others are using them (including MMDVM), then I will consider buying one.
