There are number of very good condition P7200 radios with Project-25 trunking enabled on eBay selling for $25 each, WITHOUT accessories. A few radios with accessories selling for higher prices. In the roll of a P-25 Trunked system scanner, capable of receiving Simulcast systems, it is a fantastic bargain at $25 (compared to a Unication G5 receiver ~$600).
These radios WILL NOT "talk" to RPM R10b07 software without a firmware downgrade, as the radios were set-up to use a much later revision of RPM.
If you decide to purchase one of these radios, you will need to have the following firmware config in the radios for optimal performance with RPM R10b07, with this underappreciated radio:
The above changes take approximately 30 minutes for each radio.
All the required accessories (battery, charger, antenna, etc.) for radio can be found on eBay too.
[ PLEASE NOTE: I am not the seller, or have monetary interest in these radios. I just figured-out what it takes to get one working the RPM R10 for a ham buddy, and thought I would share the info with the group. ]
