The test for technician is super easy. Use the app from this site. the app requires no login and no network after you download the test bank last time I used it. Basically ohms law so you don't blow yourself up and a few basics about not stomping other peoples signals. You can talk around the world on a tech license with no internet and no location tracking as long as the sun cooperates.

Ok, I'm doing this first step. Also, ass this may not be the first time you've shared with me, sorry for asking about it (indirectly) again

You can also by a cheap ham radio before you get your license and listen to radio traffic. Just don't "key down". Some radios even have a function to disable the talk button.
Gmrs is pay and go, no test. Also the license covers your family. The lack of proof of work before transmitting shows in the chatter you hear though for sure.
Just throwing hambook.org out there as well. I bought a hard copy to have around, but the online version is free. Hamstudy.org, hambook.org, exam.tools, and signalstuff.com are all the same folks. All excellent.
