What is the best ham radio setup for me?

I did a while from the field for advice and has been for some hope. I live in a gorge in the desert in the southwest and have an extra class amateur radio license. However, I have not been able to figure out the best setup for me in this new Position. I do not have much help from the local ham club (but I probably did not ask the right people). I sold all my old ham radio equipment many years ago, Yes, I have to start anew. Read my old material to transfers, I could only come up with need to install a huge antenna. I have a 2m radio, but I know do not care for the local communication (unless it is an emergency). I'm in the medium to long distance communication with interested voice / data processing non-voice communication. I can not install an antenna tower due to local restrictions. What kind of setup (or is it even possible) I can for my present situation, at about $ 600?

I do not know if the $ 600 for the rig and antenna, but you can go on eBay to find what you need for a reasonable price do. I do not know where you are, so maybe you can ARRL.org to a local Hamfest point. As for the antenna, I wonder how high the Hill opposite you are and how far away. Can you tilt the front of the work, a beam antenna to a usable angle DX. If you are not using a Yagi, such as wire Beams. Otherwise, maybe you are limited to a vertical or dipole. I have the screwdriver antenna on my car. You have many opportunities to experiment, and with the bands, like them, maybe some time as well.

Does a wireless router have to go through a modem?

My current Internet configuration for my desktop is a Cisco wireless card connected (via a cable) to an antenna which recieves a broadband signal. I recently bought a wireless card and router for a computer in another room, but I don’t know if I can use it with current Internet configuration.

I’m not entirely sure what you’re saying — I think what you are saying is that you have some sort of weird wireless (non-Wi-Fi) broadband service that requires an adapter that fits into your PC. If this is so you will not be able to share your Internet connection without obtaining a special router for it. Well … there might be a way, if you have an Ethernet interface (which surely you do) and run router software on your PC such as WinGate (www.wingate.com) to route between the Ethernet interface and the broadband interface.

But to answer your question, no, a wireless router does not have to go through a modem. Typically they use standard Ethernet interfaces which can connect to anything.
