PRC-47 Value?

[Soupermike]

There is a “working” PRC 47 in original box with backpack gear and headsets for sale that I want to go look at. I am not familiar with radios and equipment. What would be a fair ballpark value of what he has for sale? Is there any specific I should look for?

Thanks
Mike

Can you test it with a properly-tuned antenna?

I’ve seen them sell anywhere from perhaps $400 to $2000 in working condition. Rarely at a hamfest, usually at a silent key estate sale.

Your best bet would be to strike up a discussion on QRZ if you’re a member there.

Thanks for the info. I am not a member there but I will see what I can find out from them.
