Hi;
I appreciate the info.  That gives me some idea of the value and I'm not sure if its worth $175 or best to just hang on to it.  It is a simple radio but it met my needs.  No tnc, no cross band repeat but I sold a kenwood 7a to buy it a few years ago primarily because the pl tones were hassle free.  Unfortunately because of antenna issues it has had little use. 
I have had lots of promises for this coming spring so time will tell.
