Gilles.

Any of the three transceivers in this series are probably in the $150 USF range these days realistically. They typically went slightly up in price by set number, which as mentioned related to progressively higher frequencies of use. That's not to say people won't ask the moon for them on eBay and occasionally get it.

Either of the power supplies would be in the $40 - $45 USF range,

Most of the connectors and fiddly bits would go for $25.00 USF or less, other than vehicular aerial gear, which for some reason seems to go for more.

I think these would be fairly stable prices over the last 10 years or so. These sets don't seem to draw that much attention.

By comparison, it's contemporary man packs, the PRC-25 and PRC-77 were commanding and getting upwards of $400 USF ten or more years ago and are still pushing that today. Even more if it comes with the vehicular power supply, audio amp and automatic antennae tuner setup.

I would have kept mine if I had not stumbled into a C42 Set at a local thrift shop for $20.

Hope this helps,


David
