Can someone please tell me what a fair price would be for a PK-232 Data
Controller ? It is in "as new" condition, has never been modified in any
way, comes with cables and a manual for the PC-Pakratt Teminal Program but
no software. Thanks and best regards,

The PK-232 was adequate in its day, but there is lots of free software
now which does a better job using your computer's soundcard. The one
exception to that is Amtor/Pactor, since there doesn't seem to be any
software for that, but hardly anyone uses either of those anymore.

For RTTY, use MMTTY and for PSK31, use DigiPan or any of a dozen
clones. If you absolutely insist on using it on RTTY, please change
the default shift to 170 Hz instead of the non-standard 200 as it
comes from the factory.

I'd suggest you polish it up, put it on the shelf and consider it a
piece of history.
