  • Solid Unit!
Good, solid unit. Sensitive. Accurate frequency control. Programming worked fine, but took a while to find right method. Good reports on signal and audio with mobile antenna temporarily magnetically attached to metal safe. Large, easy to read display. Bluetooth add-on very useful. Microphone very well planned and helpful. Several choices to reach programmed material, can be a bit confusing. But, lots of good control buttons/knobs. All this said, one of the best and most solid Ham units I have owned in 70 years of Amateur Radio experience! ... show more

  • Icom Excellence
Outstanding Icom dual bander! Also used for Airband receiver and GMRS use after mars mod. Only complaint which I already knew was that Icom doesn’t include faceplate mounting options included. Those are extra. No big deal, bought a remote head mounting bracket off Amazon.

  • One of the best sounding hot reciever and transmitter.
I use 440 I have a repeater. This is about the best rig I've used 53 years on VHF. I've used converted commercial to ham grade rigs. On simplex I often get very positive audio without asking. Be aware of the seller, I know a ham that had to return his because Icom wouldn't honor the warranty card claims they didn't show the serial number. Amazon took it back no questions. ... show more

  • Great value, easy to program
I had a TYT TH-9800 in my truck before this one. After moving, the TYT stopped working, (Hated programming that thing anyway). I got this one and put it in the truck. the learning curve for programming the 2730 is much easier than the 9800 IMHO. I am currently using the same old cheap Chinese mag mount antenna I was using with the 9800, but hey, my SWRs are at 1.01, and I can hear the repeaters in the area just fine. I'm not convinced that I'm transmitting all that strong though. I have a Diamond antenna that I want to install this weekend, but the SWRs are a bit higher on that one, so I have to make adjustments. But I digress. the 2730 does not come with any mounting hardware, which is frustrating. I printed a little box that I will mount the radio face on once I get the screws for the face. The screws are 2.6mm unlike many of the other radios out there. McMaster Carr has some screws of varying lengths. The only bit of hardware the radio comes with is the microphone mount. ... show more

  • Great quality, but expensive necessary brackets/adapters "sold sperately"
By far, this is the best mobile amateur radio I have owned. It is well made, operating it is mostly intuitive, compared to similar units and the instruction manual is great! This radio is more expensive than others on the market, but its quality is better than most others on the market. However, I will NOT give it five stars. Like most others who have purchased this radio, I am quite disappointed in the fact that you must purchase an adapter to allow the face plate to attach to the radio body! To add to the disappointment, you must also purchase another adapter to enable the face plate to attach to another flat surface. (Regarding this second adapter, which is metal, I found it comes with two small--but VERY powerful--magnets that are quite brittle and can easily be broken if they slam together from their strong magnetism.) The other glaring omission from the radio package is the mounting bracket that normally accompanies all mobile radios (except, of course this radio!). That, too, must be purchased separately. This bracket and the two adapters can significantly increase the cost of this radio--especially if you purchase "genuine" Icom brackets and adapters. Finally, I would like to point out that the fan on the rear of the radio is quite loud, but it is effective. I would rather have the noise than poor air cooling, though. Because I knew of the additional cost of the brackets and adapters that must be purchased separately, I almost didn't buy this radio. But, after having to return other, cheaper radios (that included all the brackets and adapters in the purchase price) because they experienced operating failures due to poor quality construction, IMO; I finally surrendered and purchased this Icom IC-2730A. Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. I reluctantly recommend it to others and yes, I would buy it again...if I had to. ... show more

  • Great radio.
Great radio. Works as expected. Head unit fit in my phone cubby. Main unit was hard to hear behind the rear seat. Needed to add an external speaker.

  • Awesome first radio...
Purchase was fulfilled by amazon but sold by gigaparts. Delivery was prompt... no complaints there. Set up in the house for the first month to learn and program the unit. Learning curve is steep for a new Ham, but does everything I’d like. Instructions are decent, and there are a ton of videos out there for additional help. Cross-repeating is not in the instructions and needs to be “turned on” to become accessible... but works like a charm. RX is very clear onsidering the unit’s speaker. The head is detachable, and the mic conveniently plugs into the main unit or face... thus keeping cables reasonable. Only con so far is the fact that no mounting bracket is included. Any of the “Icom” accessories command a huge premium... sometimes easily costing 10%-20% of the unit itself, so keep that in mind when picking your system. Unit is now installed in my jeep via a ram Mount, diamond NMO antenna cable and mount, and a Browning antenna (1/2 wave). At 15w in suburbia, I easily hit my favorite repeater 42 miles away. For road trips, I reprogram via a laptop and $15 generic cable. Truly happy with this unit and will likely pick up another unit for a 2nd vehicle at some point. Watch the prices as they seem to fluctuate about 10-15%. Icom ran rebates in spring for 50 off the 2730A. Good luck and 73. ... show more

  • Great radio
This is probably the sweetest radio you will ever own! Simple to program with chirp just plug in the cable and go programmed right from the the program you use for btech or baefng . Great sound good filters easy to unlock if that’s what your looking for, will cover airband if you are authorized to mars it’s as easy as holding 2 buttons down and turning it on. Great range and clear as a bell . The squelch is on a knob on the front of the radio right next to the volume who would have ever guessed to put it right there! Great radio I haven’t used it over 20 watts but I’m sure it does what it says. Buy one you can’t go wrong on this radio ... show more
