Welcome aboard!
Sure, this radio and the higher gain antenna is a good start!
Check out CHIRP, for programming

 Hello,
My name is Riju, call sign KI5VVS. I am a new ham looking for suggestions for 
my first radio. To start off with, I plan to join a few nets and maybe partake 
in contests. I researched online and found the Yaesu FT-60R with Diamond 
Antenna SRH77CA. Is this combination a good setup to get started? 


Thanks,RijuKI5VVS
