I was checking out the local Goodwill today and I found a Kenwood TK3160 UHF (sorry; I didn't notice what specific model it was) for $7 with two batteries, neither charged or the radio doesn't work.
Anyone think it's worth grabbing and attempting to charge to verify it works then selling? From what I've seen, a baofeng programming cable will work with it but I'll need software. And there is a possibility that it's locked and can't be programmed, etc.. It didn't have a charger, so I'd have to kludge up or purchase one, etc.
It's only $7 but lots of variables.. Figured I'd post here to see if it's something that would be valuable enough to tinker with.
Thanks!
