I will be selling the system I used in Afghanistan with my team when I get back. I need help on setting a price. The system consist of the following: Destrac repeater, duplexer, 100ft lmr coax , antenna, 3 Saber, 5 saber II, 8 saber III, 6 systems saber, 15 OEM mic, belt clips for all radios, all batteries hold a charge for 18hrs+, chargers for all radios, programming computer with rib and programming cable and a box of misc part to use in case repairs are needed in the future. All radios are programmed to talk to each other and with the repeater. They also have HAM and NOAA programmed into them. The system work flawlessly and only reason for selling is getting out of the military and will not need personal coms for my team any more. Radios were used on the FOB for personal communications while on standby for missions. Should i sell as a full system or piece it out? and if so how much would be a reasonable price? Any suggestions on price would be greatly appreciated.

Thank!

The US is now narrowband, As such Sabers have almost no value. Where I worked we got more money from salvage ( pennies) than sending them out to salvage. It almost broke my ham heart to see working MSF5000's go to scrap.

Unless a radio can be programmed for narrowband it has no value.

Sad but true.

There may be some market offshore somewhere, but I've never looked into it.

I might just put it up and see what I get for it. It's a great system and worked really well for us out here but I will have no use for it when I get back stateside . Zone2 is all Ham so worst case I will sell it one radio at a time. I know some folks on eBay do not like to buy due to the issues with finding someone to program it but I can also program the radio so it might be best to part out vs a quick pay out.

Sell it there.
