I just brought home some Kenwood TK715 VHF FM radios from my
sister's.
She wants me to sell them for her. Any idea what they're worth?
They're NOS NIB (1 cardboard box missing, but still in styrofoam
box)
Straight 715, not N or other suffix. Vehicle mount 25W HAM.

Not..exactly....

Its a 200mhz TRUNKING radio. Commercial band...though articles do
indicate that they can be hacked...somewhat..kinda sorta...a bit.

200 MHz is within broadcast TV channel 11 (198-204MHz).

I know because I have to watch the shape of the channel on a spectrum
analyzer while rotating the antenna, to minimize reflections.
This shows multipath interference on channel 9 and a decent signal on
channel 12:

The manual says it is 177.2125 - 207.485 MHz, depending on the sub
band. It requires a Kenwood programming software and a KPG-4 Programming
interface. I only saw one sold listing for the radio on Ebay, and it
was under $50.
