Well, if you can count clicks off the low beep for lowest setting in menus
or something, the 271A is very useable, I programmed the hole thing with no
sighted help at all and in fact, a sighted friend brought his over to me to
program for him because he never had a 2 meter radio before and was having
trouble and I got his 20 frequencies in memory for him in about 10 minutes.
Mine is mobile and it's really a great radio and built very tough. Built in
speaker on the front is a nice touch too, sounds incredibly good.

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.
