The Icom IC-2730B is a modern refresh of Icom’s popular dual-band (VHF/UHF) mobile amateur radio. Its most notable upgrade is a sleek black LCD screen, offering improved visibility and a contemporary aesthetic. This enhanced display makes it easier to read operating frequencies and other crucial information at a glance, especially while driving.
While sporting a fresh look, the IC-2730B retains the robust functionality of its predecessor. It boasts 50 watts of output power for reliable communication over longer distances and simultaneous monitoring of both VHF and UHF bands. The included HM-207 remote control microphone provides convenient operation while mobile.
Built-in CTCSS and DTCS tones ensure seamless repeater access, while versatile scanning functions simplify finding active channels. For hands-free operation, the IC-2730B is compatible with optional
Bluetooth headsets (requires a separate Bluetooth unit).
In short, the IC-2730B combines proven performance with a modern design. The improved display, coupled with its core features, makes it a compelling choice for both seasoned and new ham radio operators seeking a reliable and user-friendly mobile transceiver.
