Good morning Erik,

I'm running BPQ nodes with Lenovo M93P (micro format) with Motorola CDM
1500 series radios and Rin-Maxtrac sound cards. Easy to set up in Linux;
a little rougher in in Windows. The radio(s) can run 25 or 45 watts. 

If you are looking to run VaraFM as well, I'd stick with Windows as
your OS. 

Antennas? I'm still looking for something that will last 10 years or
better, doesn't cost an arm and a leg, provide good coverage, and is
easy to install. Same with feedline. 

Let me know what you come with.
