It's hard to do anything like this very well by email or newsgroup. I
suggest that you contact a local amateur radio club. They should be able
to recommend a number of amateurs who are familiar with the equipment
and the market for it, who can help you. If you'll tell us your general
location, chances are that someone reading this group lives nearby and
can recommend a club (or perhaps help in person). Or, you can contact
the ARRL, which is the national organization of radio amateurs, who will
be glad to help. You can email to find clubs affiliated
with the ARRL, or call the ARRL at the number listed at their web site
http://www.arrl.org and explain what you need.

My brother-in-law was a radio hobbyist and passed away a few months
ago. I am helping my sister sell his equipment but I am not very
knowledgable and I want to understand more so I can get what it is
worth for her. He had no life insurance and she has two children to
support. I am worried that I will not describe the equipment fully and
not sell it for its true value.
