AR3500

[jug head]

Can anyone give me an idea of what they are worth? It is just the radio and power cord no mic. Can get static out of speaker but don't really know how to program. It has too many bells and whistles for me. Can anyone give me an idea of there worth?

But what about price? Are they worth anything?

I don't remember price I sold my last used one for, they can have problems, hard to work on, but you should get between $100 to $175 for it,,as long as it works OK


Many people are still confused and think the AR 3300 and AR 3500 were made by RCI (Range Communications Incorporated). This is not true; Clear Channel Corporation developed the Ranger AR 3300 and Ranger AR 3500 and were produced for them by Nissei in Tokyo Japan. On the other hand Ranger Communications Corporation has there own factories in Malaysia and China, The RCI brand is brought in through their American subsidiary. RCI and CCC are two very different companies with different philosophies. RCI produces many other radios for other labels like Galaxy, Superstar, Connex, General, Virage, Mirage, and at one time even Cobra as well as others. Clear Channel on the other hand conceived, designed, and oversaw the production of the AR line of radios. These radios were developed to compete in performance with the big buck HF rigs. These radios were developed to meet the demands of the real amateur radio market as well as the 11 Meter market.

I agree with Bopper. I like those old AR3500's myself. Couple of buddy's of mine from years ago both ran them. One didn't work worth a hoot...but the other worked awesome. And indeed, if it's in good working order the prices Bopper posted wouldn't be out of line in my opnion.
