If you had to build a brand new stumbling rig and could not use any hardware or software in your possession (everything must be bought new) what would you buy? Everything must be available from the Web.

Hmm if I were to start over.... I would order from the web a Orinoco Gold classic like I have, maybe order a 10-15 foot pigtail from FabCorp (or at least a custom made cable) as well as a 5-8 DB antenna omni.
Laptop, there are some places in Houston that sell the older units cheap so I would get one of those with USB and Serial on it.. GPS.. would get something similar to what I have now which is a basic unit.
Reason I keep it simple is that its easy to set up, and its solid. long range yagi's have their uses but I like things simple.
