Its never too early to do this, right?  I may go for a mobile rig later 
in the year.  Seems the Kenwood TM V71A is the favored rig of choice, with 
the speech added.

    What other items would I want to add to this set up?

    Antenna.  I live in a townhouse, and there are high ceilings.  I know I 
cannot mount anything outside.  Is it practical to use an antenna inside 
that wont get in my way?  May also want a mag mount for portable use.

    Power source.  My computer is on a UPS.  Would there be any reason I 
could not use this in the event of power outages?  I will replace it 
sometime this year and could get increaced capacity.

    Any other goodies to add to my list?  Thanks all.
