What kind of stuff are you looking to do? Do you want something for the car/house/etc? You can get by with a low tech antenna but I recommend not skimping on the coax, especially if you've got a long length of it.

Before you jump into DMR, you should make sure there's a DMR repeater nearby. Otherwise you're limited to a hotspot, which isn't terrible, but may not be as fun as you'd hoped. Where I live we have a Yaesu Fusion repeater, but no DMR/DStar/etc.

Congrats on passing the test!
