We recently replaced one of our Cessna 300 radios (it was still
working) with a TKM MX-300. Someone at our aiport is interested in
buying the old radio and I'm wondering what a fair price would be.

Thanks,

Radu

Free... It's junk... I also have one and if your friend wants to stop into
KHYX he can have it....

In all fairness, they're worth somewhere between maybe $50 and $100
depending on how good shape cosmetically they're in, as long as
everything on it works. There's still some old C150 trainers out there
that can still put them to good functional use as a basic radio and
also to help the student better appreciate newer radios. The C150 I
took my lessons in had one of these radios and it got the job done.
Made me really appreciate the Narco digital flip-flop radios in the
172 I flew later on.

Hi, did the same about 6 months ago. Biggest factor is the model of
the Cessna 300 nav/com. Working RT-328- "T" (720 channel, legal)
fetches about $200-250 on e-bay or $150 from Airwich. The older 360
channel units are boat anchors.

The 300 is probably a better radio than that stupid Narco
flip-flop. We run both, and the Narcos are in the shop more often.

It depends on whether it is 360 channel or 720 channel. If it is 360
channel it's hardly worth anything. A 720 channel might fetch $150 on eBay.
