Icom 756 Pro should be pretty accessible, some menus won't talk with the 
speech module in it but the radio's good and I hear form people that have 
them you won't need those menu items anyway more than once. I think I could 
live with it, IC 38A, I believe that's manageable, haven't had one but used 
one once or twice, it's not the best but it's workable, same with the 271 
though that may have a voice module for it, not sure. As for the yaesu, they 
don't care about us so my opinion is, good deal or not, stay away from the 
****'s JMO. Probably not accessible anyway, most of their radios aren't and 
that's the problem.

Subject: accessibility of several rigs


Wondering about the accessibility of the following rigs?

icom 756 pro
icom ic-38 (220 mobile)
icom 271a
icom 821
yaesu ft-726r

May have a chance at one or more of these at a fair price.
What are your experiences with any of these?

Thanks for the help.
