I think if you're interested you really should give it a try. You can always put it down if you find you're unable to do it. As far as hobbies go, it is a fairly cheap one to try out.
I think cheap is a relative term. The amp kit I'm looking at is $275, but I'm told it sounds as good as some prebuilt amps that cost in the thousands, especially when you build the upgrades they sell for it...but $275 is still a lot, especially if I get it and find I can't build it. I really appreciate you helping me out on this one.

But I'd also been looking at some radio kits that you can hook to your computer. Just need to get a license before I can use them.
