You are right but I too forget the model number.  Wish I had a pair or
better yet the Icom of that era.  The receivers were reputedly  (by
those in my area working weak signal satellite or moonbounce)better on
the Icom but I forget if the 271 471 had speech.  I do think that they
had a GasFet preamp option which explains the receiver difference.

I think there was a 6 meter version of that too but good luck finding
one.
