Get the KPC-3. It will run on 20ma, can run off a 9V battery, has open squelch capability without needing mods, and has a mailbox that can be increased in size. The PK88 is an old design. It retains much of the circuitry of the old TNC2 boards (original TNCs). It eats a LOT of power, then spills much of it in a 7805 regulator. The mailbox is small, etc. The KPC-3 is a much better value for your money.

Just decide on a few creature comforts, a radio other than the one that comes standard (unbelievably nasty) and you are talking a lot more dosh still. I managed to resist the temptation of the central heating boiler and freezer, but occasionally wonder about adding a winch. The headlamps are a bit lacking (remember Spike Milligan's landladies' light-bulb jokes?) so a pair of decent lamps is essential, and the lamp bracket needed is #200+ bull-bar shaped... these things are not much diffeerent to range-rover prices when you get to decent levels of equipment... With a heavy trailer behind and a pair of large horses, it's true class shows. The local RIS man has been given a Discovery with a pneumatic mast through the roof. He's as happy as the proverbial dog with 2 tails. they've bolted a 240v generator where the airconditioner pump would go.

It seems that there are installations that use the Kantronics D4-10 in the 440 to 450 MHz range without problems. In order to operate in this range it is necessary to retune the unit, but tuning range is not a problem.
