I find this very cool.
I think I may want a Yeasu FT817ND or current equivalent.
You can buy a small device that interfaces with an iPad for texting.

I think it is incredible that you can see active frequencies on a band scope.
Then you can start chatting.
I started on BBS's and was blown away the first time a sysop broke in and started typing on my screen.
Ever since then I was hooked on chatting on chat boards.
As a future HAM I want to do this by radio.
Can I run some sort of antenna in my attic and what distance will it reach out to other hams doing PSK?
Edit: better version of software:
PSK31
