HAMM and other radio questions

[fendereff]

Ok so i have a good CB, but i have been wanting a HAMM for a while now. How do you go about getting your license? i know there is a test and it no longer requires morse code, but is there like a book to read or something?

and i was checkin out all the pictures in one of the other threads...what the crap are all those different radios and boxes...the ones on desks with keyboards and cooling fans? i dont know what they are but i want them!
