I have the opportunity to purchase a second hand codan 8528 with a 9350 auto tune antenna for around $1900 all in good condition, is the price about right? or is there a better radio and aerial on the market that I should be looking at. I dont mind paying more for a better unit......thanks Mike

I recently bought a Barrett 950 system 3 years old (but current design) for $1500.
I viewed that as a very good price (might have a gone up to $1800).
If the Codan: has remote head, can make sel and
beacon calls, will do Radphone connects and has the 99 user programmable channels that the specs suggest AND someone who knows HF says it is all working fine, it has to be worth $1500 - $1700 in my view. The 8528 is two models removed from the current Codan NGT. The 9323 with auto-tune would be worth $1900. Keep in mind that a new Barrett can be bought for a whisker under $3000 in SA (cash only) and that comes with a full 3 year warranty.
If you really want Codan, the 8528 might be worth $1900 in the view of some because the current NGT's are quite pricey. You could ring Alec Daws in central Victoria (0417 566 022) ... he recons HF systems and sells second hand - he might have one, with a price, as a guide.Gotta have red sand on those boots !
