I've been following Goirish's misfortune with Hobby People, but I couldn't help but notice this new deal:

The RX alone is worth $49.99, so it seems like a pretty good deal for a beginner. It also looks like the RX would be compatible with the Airtronics RDS 8000 if you wanted to upgrade to a computer radio in a year.
Don't let that steer you away from Hobbypeople. I also have one of their Airtronics rds8000 and it is a great radio. Probably the person that I talked with in the beginning is not in the tx section.
