Hello Jerry, Take a look at what you want to do. A Raspberry Pi is more than powerful enough for lots of stuff. You can add a USB drive for lots of storage. If your going to do stuff like SDR, then you need a much more powerful system. Consider what you need for reliability. If it is going to be something you might use from a remote location, you might want to have a UPS and use a fairly robust desktop. Consider what the power requirements are going to be, what you use for a display (do you run two or more?). How much noise can you tolerate (would an old used desktop do the job?).
Speaking of SDR... I will put something on the list in a few minutes.
