I never had luck programming the 2100H when I had it, but my 271, I don't
know about directly entering tone but you can with frequency. I don't know
about the tones, I didn't try that, you just have to reprogram a button as
enter on the mic to make it enter frequency. Next time I'm mobile I'll see
about the tones.

I know on the TM-261 and I guess it's true on the 271, that you can =
directly
enter a frequency from the microphone keypad. I wonder if you can also
directly (well, really indirectly) enter in the CTCSS tone as you can on =
the
V7 and 707?
In the car I have the IC-2100 and it's really easy to program except for =
the
CTCSS tones. I recently had to re-program one of the memories because =
the
repeater added a tone squelch. The tone I needed was programmed into
another memory, so I just copied that memory to the vfo, changed the
frequency and stored the vfo back into the memory I needed to =
re-program.

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.
