Hello.
I have a complete UHF CDR700 repeater, 403-470 split. It is used but in good condition, and works perfectly well. It has 2 CDM750 radios, antenna duplexer, controller, power supply, fan cooled case and all cables / connectors etc.
What I would like to know is what kind of trade value this setup has. I would like to trade it (locally if possible) for a good ham transceiver. Something reliable that covers all bands (or at least most of the common ones) with as many modes as possible is what I'm looking for.
I'd like to find out what brand(s) and model(s) would fit the bill that would of comparable value to the CDR700 repeater.
I've had my general class license for a couple of years, but for whatever reason, have never owned a HF rig. I really don't need the repeater so I thought I would start looking around for something to trade it for.
I see these repeaters sell for anywhere between $500 to $1000. I have no intentions of trying to get $1000 worth of stuff in a trade. I would just like to get some opinions from some experienced hams, and some examples of what HF rigs would make for a reasonably fair trade for a CDR700.
I live in the west metro Atlanta area, if that matters.
Thanks in advance for your input.
