The 275 and 475's are definitely the most common with the 575 somewhat
less common.  I've never been able to get a straight answer on how many
375A and 1275A's were made, though a Canadian dealer once told me that
they saw a perhaps 100 375's and 30 1275's. I'm pretty sure that there are
more 1275's in existence, owing to the fact that 220MHz is only available
here in NA.

Since you are looking for a 575, you'll find one.  I stumbled onto my 375a
and was the first to commit on a 1275a.
