I have a Yaesu 857D, and wanted to get into digital modes, I found a great little Kantronics KPC3 at a ham swap for $90, I was home setting up my own radio based BBS and Mailbox within an hour, and able to start sending and receiving PSK31 same day - very cool stuff, and for a minimal investment for the TNC.
Well said. I have a very stealthy antenna in my backyard, and with 100w I am consistently talking to other hams across the country...oh and I dont have to pay AT&T to do it!
When all else fails, Amateur Radio!

Shop your local ham swap, or check ebay - http://bit.ly/a6I15p
