Great radio but pricey.

Great performance and ease of use make this radio a great value. Not made in China makes it even better. Very easy to use and program with Icom's free cloning software.
Only CON: Icom should have included the bracket to mount the control head to the unit.

The new IC-2730A is a great rig for those not wanting the more expensive digital additions. It is reasonably priced, and especially great for the new Techs out there.
Monitoring dual bands at once is a delight, as is the fresh white display.
Programming was a breeze with the software and USB/3.5 jack. I use mine as a mobile rig, then pull it out as a desktop base station.
