In the Pacific Northwest we've been using Kenwood TM-D710s with their
internal TNC, some with the built-in digipeater and some with aprx. We
take advantage of both receivers, putting an external 1200 baud TNC on
the second receiver. This gives a lot of bang for the buck. Two
digipeaters for ~$600 in radios and TNCs.

I'm also looking forward to something from Argent or Byonics that is
capable of 9600 baud.
