I have no idea of the worth of any of this stuff. Here's the inventory:
2 Radius P50 Portables (2 ch each, w/ chargers)
1 HT600 (6 ch)
1 MT50 (4 ch... Looks Ancient)
2 Minitor I (w/ chargers)
These are old VHF Fire Dept. radios. They came from a box labeled "broken", but here is what I know:
Both P50 chargers appear to work fine.
P 50 #1 charges and appears to work. I can recieve ID info from a local repeater on it, but I can not confirm if it transmits.
P50 #2 seems to have a shot battery... will not turn on.
HT600 and MT50 are dead, unknown if operable at all, and I have no way to charge them.
I haven't examined the Minotor I's yet, maybe tomorrow...
I am interested in getting SkyWarn Certifed and possibly using one of the these radios for that purpose (With the proper credentials, of course). What would a local radio repairman charge to check these units over, and are these even the proper radios for doing what I have planned. Are these radios just too old and obsolete? Or... is this box of equipment more valuble to a collector? Some guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
