We will try to go over most of this fairly quickly. In addition to a VHF radio, you will need an antenna (duh) of some sort, terminal with keyboard (pretty much a computer these days,) TNC and cables from the TNC to Radio and TNC to the computer. Sometimes the cables can be the trickiest part of the setup. Fortunately we have a solution for that.
Here is a picture of a really simple packet station!

Palmpilot Packet!!
Good Luck!
