VHF/UHF DUAL BAND TRANSCEIVER

Practical Dual Banderwith Optional Bluetooth Headset®

VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF Simultaneous Receive

Easy-to-See Large White Backlit LCD

The IC-2730A provides VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF simultaneous receive
capability as well as VHF/UHF receive. Main dials, volume, squelchknobs and primal buttons are symmetrically laid out for each band.

The display size of the IC-2730A is 1.5 times larger than its predecessor, the IC-2720H. Frequency display and channel names arelarger, and the white backlit provides higher contrast.

Optional VS-3 Bluetooth® Headset

Easy Controller Mounting with the Optional MBF-1

The optional VS-3 Bluetooth® headset
can wirelessly control the IC-2730A withthree programmable keys and a PTTbutton. It also provides VOX operationfor hands-free communication.

The combination of the optional
MBF-1 suction cup mounting baseand MBA-5 controller bracket provides easy tilt and swivel adjustments. The large suction cup can bemounted on flat surfaces and can beremoved easily.

VHF/UHF DUAL BAND TRANSCEIVER

50 watts of output on VHF and UHFController Attachment to the Main
Unit with Optional MBA-4

The IC-2730A employs a durable PA moduleand delivers 50 watts of high power operation on both VHF and UHF bands.

With the optional MBA-4 combination bracket,
the controller can be attached to the mainunit. The microphone jacks are mounted on
both the controller and main unit.

Built-in 50 CTCSS and 104 DTCS
tones with Split Tone Function

Wideband Receiver

The CTCSS and DTCS tones are built-in
for quiet stand-by and repeater access. Thesplit tone function allows you to set CTCSS/DTCS tones separately for repeater uplinkand downlink on a per channel basis.

The IC-2730A covers 118–174 and 375–550
MHz. You will be able to listen to aviation,marine, weather channels and other utility
communications.
