from my beginner-level's perspective, all the rnodes and autonomous nodes i have seen embed a LoRa SX1262 transceiver.
Get any of these RAK4631, Xiao+Wio or any combination of nRF62+SX1262 OR any combination of ESP32+SX1262, and you easy-peasy turn that into an rnode (a "lora modem") that you connect to via USB or bluetooth (or wifi on ESP32) and #reticulum starts chirping over it.
In theory i think that any other cheap modulating on these frequencies could, through maybe the writing of custom drivers and software, also get you to send reticulum packets.
There may not be such software ready yet for other chips than the SX1262, i don't know...
