Hi Salty!!

From the model number, the design dates back to 1977 - so it was manufactured over 20 years ago. I was always warned that to get extra frequencies installed on an old radio can be very expensive and may not be possible - worthwhile phoning a HF Radio shop like Electric Bug and asking.

Cheers

They are old, but work fine, it just depends on whether the unit being offered has the channels you want (4wd Network and perhaps RFDS), as extras require a crystal for each channel, and that's the costly bit.
Make sure it's equipped with emerg call (unlikely it'll have a selcall facility), and mute (squelch). Don't pay too much for it.
You'll also need to chase up a whip antenna and spring base. Terlin make one which covers all the 4wd Network and most RFDS as a regular item, reducing the cost.

I have a 7727, yes they are fairly old and large compared to the new onesBUT if you can get it for under $500 and you can find a place to fit 4WD network (VKS 737) frequencies you will be way in front of bying a new one.
Mine works well and can reach across the country. If going off the beaten track and out of the way then they are a really worthwhile piece of gearand could even be a life saver.Bush Bappo's 4WD Club
