      Good idea. We've been using packet digital radio since the 80s There's no jack or zuck The license/training/equipment is easy to get now and it may come to that

      You study for the license test (35 questions) from a verbatim published pool of questions. No morse code requirement any more. 5 year-olds have done it. And since a lot of hams are old/dying, there's a lot of used equipment around http://arrl.org

      digital packet radio is what I'm most interested in what's a cheap hardware / antenna to start with, and how far can you reach with sky's-the-limit budget ?

          There are so many. I'd check out someplace like http://hamradiooutlet.com  . I personally like MFJ equipment, it's not as expensive as the Kenwood or Icom, the top brands. There are three levels of licenses, with increasing privileges and power limits. 1/2

          But even with the beginner's Tech license, with packet radio you can reach internationally. You could pass those license tests with a day's study. Especially the Tech test is mostly common sense regulations and safety questions.

          A lot of packet radio activity in the US is on the 2-meter (144 MHz) band, so even a cheap handie-talkie is minimally sufficient for the transceiver component (I'm a fan of the Yaesu FT-65R, which is around $90 new) 1/

          2/ In the old days, you would also need a dedicated Terminal Node Controller and a radio modem or a 2-in-1 combination of both, which can cost several hundred dollars; nowadays though you can use your computer's sound card as a TNC/modem with software such as AGWPE
