[aprssig] TM-271A

[Josh Keller]

I just got one last week for my girlfriend who just got her tech. It 
seems to work well for as little as I have used it. The rig came highly 
recommended by the log truck drivers who frequent the repeater I hang 
out on. They found it was the best built to withstand the constant 
pounding they take in the log trucks after going through a number of 
other radios. The only thing I don't really like about it is the fact 
there there is just low power (25W) and high (60W). I would rather have 
an extra low of maybe 10, but that isn't a big deal. If you operate at 
high for an extended period it does get pretty hot, but that wasn't 
really a concern in my case as 5W would even be plenty 99% of the time.
