There are other software titles for setting up nodes and bulletin board stations. A Ham radio. Most packet activity takes place in the 2M and 70 cm bands, so a 2M or 70 cm band radio will work. I simply use a 2M handheld radio with an amplifier and beam antenna for my packet station. Even used crystal type radios are effective for packet.
Many new radios are packet ready.
That is, the radio has a separate plug for packet. Good old crystallized radios work very well since they can have very short receive to transmit delays which speed up data transfer.
