Boat Radios

[Kirchnerbrn]

I have 3 radios that I want to sell. How much do you think I should charge for them.

1. First, I am selling a Futaba FP-T3FG. It has 2 servos, Battery, Reciever, Power switch, and the Manual.

2. I have a old Kraft AM radio system. It is a Sports Series system. It includes Radio, Reciever, 4 Servos, Battery, Charger, and Power switch. I bought it 2 years ago and never used it.

3. I have a 2 Channel Futaba Duratrax Radio and Reciever that I had in my car but took it out.

I can't comment on the other 2 radios but that Kraft Sport series apparently has never been updated. 72.080 is no longer a legal freqency for the 72mhz aircraft band. See the charts at the attached link.

The FP3-TG is on 72.120 Mhz. Also illegal these days. Sorry, but these are for collectors only who want to stick them on a shelf. However, that does not mean they are worthless. On the contrary, the Kraft will always draw some attention and someone probably has a vintage r/c car they would like to display with a vintage wheel radio.

I know close to nothing and am just getting into rc stuff. Don't air and surface have different freq. If so can these transmitters be used for boats?

Canada and USA laws are pretty much the same, boats and cars are on 27 and 75 mhz, air is on 72. Some higher frequencies (433 mhz I think) are available for rc, but you'll probably have to build your own tx/rx.
