50 watts of output on VHF and UHF
The IC-2730A provides VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF simultaneous receive capability as well as VHF/UHF receive. Main dials, volume, squelch knobs and primal buttons are symmetrically laid out for each band.
The optional VS-3 Bluetooth® headset can wirelessly control the IC-2730A with three programmable and a PTT button. It also provides VOX operation for hands-free communication
The display size of the IC-2730A is 1.5 times larger than conventional model. Frequency display and channel names are larger, and the white backlight provides higher contrast.
The combination of the optional MBF-1 suction cup mounting base and MBA-5 controller bracket provides easy tilt and swivel adjustments. The large suction cup can be mounted on flat surfaces, and can be removed easily.
The IC-2730A employs a durable PA module and delivers 50 watts of high power operation on both VHF and UHF bands.
The CTCSS and DTCS tones are built-in for quiet stand-by and repeater access. The split tone function allows you to set CTCSS/ DTCS tones separately for repeater uplink and downlink.
With the optional MBA-4 combination bracket, the controller can be attached to the main unit. The microphone jacks are mounted on both the controller and main unit.
The IC-2730A covers 118–174 and 375– 550MHz. You will be able to listen to aviation, marine, weather channels and other utility communications.

You can set this radio as a cross band repeater. I does that very easily.

I purchased this model to try and receive the ISS repeater listening to both the uplink and downlink at the same time. I does the job very well.
Programming was easy for me as ICOM seems to use the same system/menu over the past few years. TX audio reports have been great and the RX audio is easy to listen too with the internal speakers.

A great radio with a lot of features, I love the Cross Band Feature and large display. I manufactured my own remote display mounts out of 90 degree brackets. I wish Icom would include the mounting bracket with the unit, I just happened to have a bracket from an older Icom that fit perfect. MTC is now my preferred Ham Radio supplier, great customer service.

Great dual band radio at a great price. Easy to program from the front of the radio . Nice addition to my shack as the IC-2730a is now my primary VHF radio.

I ordered this radio to replace an old Kenwood TM-732 dual band radio that I have had for over 20 years ago.
I love the big display on this radio, it makes it very easy to see what repeater you have up. The dual controls is very nice, you can switch between different repeater / simplex channels with just one button.
I love order from Main Trading, they are quick in processing and shipping out orders. I love to support a local mom and pop business over a chain store.

The only real knock for me is the white background is hard to see in the sun. My head unit is on the dash in the same place as my previous ID-880H which was easily seen. I did figure out if I set the contrast to its highest setting of 10 it did make the numbers somewhat darker & a bit easier to see. A major plus was the fact I could use my existing remote/control cables from my previous install which saved at least 2 hours on the install. Even though the separation kits carry different part numbers they are the same. It was funny that I contacted Icom to ask what the difference, if any, between the 2 cables & there answer was we don't know. Great radio & I would suggest it to anyone looking for a true dual bander.
