    I'm looking to get back into HAM radio. I found this web site called Buy Two Way Radios and they have a "starter kit" that comes with a Wouxun KG-UV920P 2M/70CM transceiver, antenna, power supply, mounting
    brackets... I was hoping someone with more experience could tell me if this is worth my time and trouble.

    I would certainly say so. Looks like a good deal to me. I've not heard anything negative about the Wouxun radios. I'd go for it.

    Depends very much on what you want to do.

    I am also a quit new.
    I started with a Boafeng HT and added a Tytera TYT MD-380 DMR HT and a Yaesu FT-450D HF transceiver.

    The Baofeng is a great starting point as it has an unbeatable price/performance
    at 25 USD shipped ;)

    You can then decide from there where you want to go.
