Hey Jerry,

The iMic from Griffin is a decent option. I have it, but haven't tried 
using it with MultiMode. It's inexpensive, and probably is more than 
sufficient. You can get them from our Apple Stores or online for about 
$33.

If you'd like a higher-end solution for more than just amateur radio, 
look into Edirol. They makes some higher-performance modules that use 
FireWire. They're a little more pricey.

Also, PreSonus Firebox is a high-end sound in/out device that I've 
heard good things about. They have a giveaway contest on their website 
currently. (www.presonus.com). Expect to pay about $300-500 for this 
one.

Regards,
Mike - K6MEC
