what doyou want to do? what is in your area to communicate with? personally I like using UBNT (wifi) hardware to build RF based networks but for allI know, you want to set up something to run 300 or 1200 baud afsk. lets start with this..... what band and mode do you wish to use?

Ernest;
For backbone UHF links, converted Motorola crystal controlled units such as Mitrek units are good as are old Maxxon. When set right, you can get 4-5ms rttl with them. You can also have decent results with Phoenix radios. In some cases with any of the above, you may find a commercial entity looking to scrap these units for more modern models but with a little care these things will run for ions!
For VHF, alincos are fairly inexpensive and work fine in the 2-mtr range. 220 I prefer Kenwoods if you can find them. For higher speeds such as 802.11 Microtik with some Atheros cards works decent enough for the cost.
Of course, unless you're using a Tek data radio, you'd have the router (wifi) or TNC (uhf/vhf/hf) inbetween the radio and pc.
Which radio is good...
The Kenwood D710 is still the best off the shelf data radio we have. One 1200-or-9600 packet TNC built in on the first channel and a second radio channel ready for an external TNC or soundcard modem setup. It's not perfect as the two channels aren't totally independent but it's close.
