Just on a sad note,, Icom America does not service these radios anymore.(IC-271A/H)(471A/H). I had to find out the hard way with buying one from a ham on this site.
Oh well, A lesson learned well. Just beware of anyone listing one for repair. They are no longer supported. If you do buy one, You might just be buying a parts rig.
That in itself is not bad, But just be aware there are a dead issue as far as Icom is concerned.
If anyone has information on someone that still works on these rigs, Please have them contact me @ dwondolkowski@hotmail.com
Many Thanks Don
