for a home built one, probally from 900-1200- if its a 1 meg with good or whore out flashcode, if just basic, like no IMBE probally 600

If it has serial tags in tact, I would say the highest 1500

for and astro saber III or astro saber II ? they are still worth that, I thought that is what an XTS would go for?

I looked on ebay as a gauge and ther were very few there

A three model is only really useful if you need to:

Use DTMF on the fly
Directly select a channel
Use MDC calling/paging alot

Other than that, 2 may be cheaper, but are harder to come by.
Lowband radio. The original and non-complicated wide area interoperable communications system

I am only looking to see what you all would feal a good price would be on a used moto built radio. I am not looking to find a source I am working on a trade here locally I am inquiring as to the worth of the radio.
I traded a saber III for 2 visars and the visars are not up to spec . so I wanted to know what the value of a astro saber might be I would like to have all of the features I might only need a saber I but if I need it I have it .
I might even go for an astro saber I but I had a saber III. just don't want to battle unarmed. need to know what I am looking at.

thanks

oh, in that case, emmm probally 950, espically if its a almost a basic flash like just only IMBE and thats all,

if you traded for 2 visar, that was an even trade I would say cause they range around 425 around there or more.

OH YEAHh also, usually if its a low cut 403-470, I notice those..... they dont really get much attention from buyers and price are much lower then higher cut Astros.

So pretty much it really varys on what Freq band, I II or III, and the flash.

Thats just my opinion, on what I have seen over 4 years.
