Icom IC-2730E
Dual-band 144 / 430MHz FM mobile transceiver with 50W output, simultaneous VHF/VHF and UHF/UHF receive, a detachable controller and high-contrast black inverted LCD.
The Icom IC-2730E Black Screen Edition gives Icom's popular dual-band mobile transceiver a sharper, more modern appearance while retaining the functionality that has made the IC-2730E such a versatile mobile and base-station radio.
Its dual receive architecture allows VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF or VHF/UHF simultaneous reception, while independent volume, squelch and tuning controls for each side make operating two frequencies straightforward.
The IC-2730E delivers up to 50W on both 144MHz and 430MHz, with medium and low power settings of 15W and 5W. Wideband reception from 118-174MHz and 375-550MHz also opens up airband and a variety of other utility communications.
A detachable controller, multiple optional mounting arrangements and the supplied HM-207 remote-control microphone make the IC-2730E equally at home in a vehicle or fixed station.
Simultaneously monitor two VHF frequencies, two UHF frequencies or one of each.
50W high, 15W medium and 5W low output settings on both 144MHz and 430MHz.
Large high-contrast display with prominent frequency and channel information.
Broad receive coverage including VHF airband and a wide range of utility signals.
VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF or VHF/UHF
Unlike many dual-band mobile radios, the IC-2730E can receive two frequencies within the same band simultaneously. That means you can monitor VHF/VHF and UHF/UHF as well as conventional VHF/UHF combinations.
The symmetrical front-panel layout provides individual tuning, volume and squelch controls for each side, helping the radio remain intuitive even when both receivers are active.
High-Contrast Inverted LCD
The large 91 × 27mm display presents frequencies and channel names clearly, while the Black Screen Edition's inverted LCD gives the IC-2730E a distinctive appearance with excellent contrast.
Full Power on VHF and UHF
The IC-2730E provides up to 50W RF output on both 144MHz and 430MHz. Medium and low settings of 15W and 5W allow output to be reduced when full power is not required.
Multiple Controller Mounting Options
The detachable controller makes the IC-2730E particularly easy to install where dashboard or console space is limited.
The optional MBF-1 suction cup base can be combined with the MBA-5 controller bracket for adjustable tilt and swivel mounting. Alternatively, the optional MBA-4 allows the controller to be attached directly to the main radio body.
Built-In CTCSS and DTCS
The IC-2730E includes 50 CTCSS tones and 104 DTCS codes for repeater access and quiet standby. Split-tone operation allows separate CTCSS or DTCS settings to be configured for repeater uplink and downlink on individual channels.
Receive from 118MHz to 550MHz
European IC-2730E models cover 118-174MHz and 375-550MHz on receive, with AM reception available for VHF airband alongside FM and narrow FM reception elsewhere within the supported ranges.
HM-207 Remote Microphone
The supplied HM-207 remote-control microphone gives quick access to commonly used radio functions without reaching for the controller.
HM-209 Noise-Cancelling Microphone
For operation in noisy environments, the optional HM-209 active noise-cancelling microphone can reduce unwanted background noise for clearer transmitted audio.
Free CS-2730 Programming Software
Icom's CS-2730 programming software is available as a free download, making it easier to manage memories and radio settings from a PC.
