High-Power Dual-Band Performance • Cross-Band Repeat Capability • Enhanced Display and Audio Clarity
Experience reliable analog communication with the ICOM IC-2730A VHF/UHF FM Transceiver—a high-performance dual-band mobile designed for operators who demand clear audio, intuitive operation, and powerful output. With a rugged 50W transmitter on both 2-meter and 70cm bands, the IC-2730A combines ICOM’s renowned RF engineering with a user-friendly layout and expanded display for superior on-road or base-station communication.
Engineered for flexibility, the IC-2730A offers true dual-band operation, allowing VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF, or VHF/UHF simultaneous receive. A built-in duplexer lets you connect a single dual-band antenna without any external accessories. Each band features its own independent controls for tuning, volume, and squelch, giving you a familiar, balanced feel and effortless dual operation.
This transceiver’s large, high-contrast LCD display is 1.5 times bigger than previous ICOM models, making it easier to read frequencies and channel names even under bright sunlight. Combined with its white backlight, information is displayed clearly at a glance—perfect for mobile operators who value visibility and quick adjustments on the go.
The IC-2730A is equipped with CTCSS and DTCS tones, including split tone and polarity reverse features for full repeater compatibility. Coverage spans 118–174 MHz and 375–550 MHz, enabling you to monitor aviation, marine, and weather channels along with standard amateur bands. Built-in cross-band repeat capability and CI-V remote control support (with optional cable) extend operational versatility for advanced users.
