• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

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.
