I will pull out the manual for my new one tonight and see if I can list its capabilities. I think you mentioned that the Alpine did ETR but the Kenwood did not. I will look at the manual I have and scan it in or type in the features. I think they are really very much identical in features. If you have your ORIGINAL radio manual, it would be nice to have you post your features as well.
I have learned that Alpine made 2 styles of the 7272. The Post style is what is pictured in the brochures (at least it looks like a 7272, Alpine made ALOT of similar models): http://www.ascmclarencoupe.com/ascLiterature/ascMcLarenBrochures/85as cMcLarenCoupeBrochureInside.jpg
Back when I was trying to get a radio, Hank sent me an Alpine 7272 with the post style. I returned it for a Kenwood.
It has more of a "graphic equalizer" slider style for the Bass and Treble levels. On the post style you use the outer knobs to control it.
Sandy, which style Alpine do you have? I'm guessing the '85s that got an Alpine probably got the post style while a switchover occured for the 1986 year.
