Lately, I've been thinking of getting back on the air and I thought it would be nice to get into packet radio. I've noticed that there are many programs on Simtel20 related to Ham Radio but I was wondering, what kind of hardware do I need (besides a Transmitter-Receiver) in order to get started? Where can I get it? How much do I have to spend? I know I'm asking an awful lot of questions but, if you could just steer me in the general direction of some answers I would be most grateful. Thanks very much. Daniel Reigada, K4JWW
