In this case (only two radios) a hub is the same as a crossover cable. The hub will give you access to do packet sniffing. If you add a third radio you will want a switch or multi port router.

After reading the posts on the pros and cons of using a switch when connecting 2 radios together, would an alternative be to use a crossover cable and two male-male RJ45 connectors to join the two aPPO's directly? Is anyone using this at the moment? I'm going down to the site later this week to test it so will post my results back as and when.
