[SixClub] Real value

[Mike (KA5CVH) Urich]

I think what a some people, myself included, have in the back of our
minds but haven't verbalized is, if I buy this rig and don't like it
(or any other reason), what would the resale value be?  Thus with that
in mind I think some people again myself included, will look at the
cost of a Ranger or MFJ-9406 and go ... gee for $XX more I can pick up
a used IC706 or FT100 or any other of the HF w/V/UHF and have a much
better rig, that will be easier to sell if I need too.  Or if you do
upgrade to Gen/Extra you now have an HF rig to get on the air with
too. Even if you don't it will be much more down the road than the
Ranger. When you look at cost per band say a new 100 w Ranger 5054 @ ~
$400 times the 12 bands in my FT-100 makes my FT-100 equivalently
worth $4800 (less being 5 years old and original purchase price of
~$750), kinda puts things into perspective doesn't it!
