Digital-only QRP transceivers

I'm really intrigued by digital modes. Stuff like JS8Call seems really cool, and I want to get into it.

I don't have any HF equipment. SSB isn't very interesting to me, so I was thinking of getting a digital-only transceiver and saving some money. I think it would be cool to take a small QRP box with a laptop or raspi, and do digital mode Pota with it.

I've seen the QDX which looks exactly like what I want and seems to get good reviews. Any others that I should be aware of?

Digital modes are usually based on an SSB transceiver, unless you are talking about something with specialized hardware radios like LORA. (In the end, all radio is analog!) So, consider SSB radios even if you will only pass digital signals through them
- I'd get an SSB capable radio unless you're only interested in FSK modes.
