NOt familiar with this one.  Hope it's better than my 261a I
have in my van.  INaccessible in any sense of the word, no
way to independently (without sighted assistance) set ctcss
tone etc.  rEal pain in the backside.

Mine also has a problem with transmit whenever it gets warm.

It'd take that Icom 2720 over it, at least it worked.

Btw the internal speakers on the 2720 weren't great as
mentioned by another poster.  I provided them a couple of
those little radio shack mobile speakers for it, one for
each side.  THat improved the receive audio 100 percent.
