excellent.
Sounds like a great little mobile.
Speaking of which, the new Yaesu 1802 sounds allot like the kenwood
271a....you've even got mike gain control with the 1802...its compact and
powerful....i guess just another radio on the amateur buffet.
Not sure if it has beeps or not...i'm tempted to get one to try out to see
how accessible it is...might be a yaesu finally that has some accessibility.
