The one I had worked on 11m normally. They are a nice radio and really heat up the shack in winter. I recall output was around 400wpep.

If you ever want to sell it let me know ;_}

Not sure on current price but you can check the internet auction site's or internet ham site's for a general idea of what they are going for.

I miss the one I had many years back.

I'd still love to own another 400DX - nice radio, fully tubed and fun to use.
