HF radio requires an HF radio and a Terminal Node Controller (TNC). The
Icom 710 and a Pactor III TNC work quite well. A ships license ($200)
and a Restricted Radio Operators license ($50) are required to operate
the HF radio. Of course they are also required to operate the VHF if
outside US waters.
