Alinco DR-735T Dual Band

I love the dual color display. It allows me to determine if its a RX or TX signal. Just check the color.

I did a lot of research and talked to a few HAMs before purchasing a dual band VHF/UHF radio. I even went to a local shop to look around. Not once did anyone mention Alinco. I am very pleased with my choice. Had it programed within 15 minutes or so on three local repeaters. I must say the menu interface is simple to understand as well as the instruction manual. Much easier than other leaders in the market. The display options are something else too. Quite nice to look at, easy to read and the color options just make this unit quite enjoyable. I am sure the programing cable will make the job much easier for entering many channels. If you are looking for a dual band setup, don't overlook this model as an option.

Lets start out with, there is nothing wrong with this radio, but 5 stars would imply it could not be improved upon. It could, but isn't necessary.
This radio works great. Wonderful receive and transmit, and the feature I love best is the multi color display. You can even choose a custom color. I use mine on a seafoam color when monitoring, when the squelch is broken the side of the radio that it happened on turns yellow. Transmit is red.
You can also set custom colors by channel, so from across the room you may know that your favorite channel is being received while the volume is down. The menu feature is a tad less intuitive than others, but is pretty easy to figure out. Glad I made the choice of this radio. The display is the biggest I believe of any dual bander, and it's nice to have such a great display on a radio.
