How do you get an ameteur radio license?
In the USA, the license is granted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ... just like every authorization to transmit radio, no matter for what purpose. In the case of an amateur ("ham") license, the individual has to pass a test that covers topics in the rules and regulations that relate to the Amateur Service, plus a few technical subjects. There are enough magazines, books, tapes, sample tests, and publications of all kinds to fill a small library, of materials designed to introduce you to Amateur Radio and help you prepare for the test. The best place to start is the website of the American Radio Relay League. It's been the largest organization representing Amateur Radio for most of the 100 years that the hobby has existed. The link to the ARRL's website is in the "related links" attached to this answer. Good luck. K2KQU

Yes and no. The analog SABER portable has long since been discontinued by Motorola, and it's use in public safety and business bands is coming to an end on January 1, 2013.

They will, however, still be useful for the amateur radio service, the marine radio service, and of course as receivers for whatever falls within the band of the particular radio. The ASTRO Digital Saber has also been long discontinued, but it does support narrow-band operation and can be used long into the future.

(He did the Moon-bounces 'cause it is too expensive for me!) But, Hey, I had a nice, tall mountain 5 miles away that did splendid work in reflecting my measly 10 watts of VHF radio signals to much farther than if I had simply aimed the beam antenna toward the city I was trying to 'Hit'.An amateur can usually become a professional.
