Overall

Great overall Radio, Easily programed with RTSystem

Review by Ricky

Needed a dual band radio with a detachable control head with the option of a mic jack on the control head for my Cadillac Escalade. IC-2730A was easily mounted tucked away in the bottom console with out any extra drilling of holes with only the control head visible mounted on the console with velcro. So many mounting options and possibilities with this radio. Easy manual programming as well as with the RTSYSTEMS programing software and cable.

Overall

Great radio for car or the shack.

Review by Don

Nice radio all around. I would only recommend that you use CHIRP for setting up the radio for everything, makes it so much easier.

Overall

Great Dual Band Analog Radio

Review by John

The IC-2730A is a nice addition to my shack. The built in duplexer allows for the simultaneous monitoring of VHF and UHF using a single dual band antenna. The RT systems software made it easy to program all the frequencies I need. Living in Florida, I needed access to my local 2 meter repeater as well as the Florida statewide network on 440MHz. This will allow me to monitor locally and statewide during hurricane season with a single radio and a single antenna. Very happly with the IC-2730A.

Looking good

Review by Gym

I have been an Icom fam for many years. This radio only inforces my dedication to the product line. The radio was easy to install in my truck. It works as discribed and has great sound. All in all, it's a great radio. One draw back was the Control head did not come with mounting hardware.
