  • Simple & Great
There is nothing more to say: This is a very simple, easy to work with radio. I don't need bells and whistles but I love quality. This radio has that. Will purchase two more.

  • Good dependable radio.
I would like programmable favorites buttons, like the TYT9800, but the longer life of the icom radio is necessary. This has the dual band repeater function that in my opinion is a necessity.

  • 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 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

  • I love this radio so much, I have TWO of them and may get more!
This is the second IC-2730a I have purchased. The first one was for my car that has almost zero "radio room" and after using it mobile for close to a year, I ordered this 2nd one for use as a base radio and it is now my primary 2m and 70cm base radio. A ham friend that rents from us also has one in his truck and loves it so technically we have 3 of these radios in the household. For the money, you can't beat these radios! I highly recommend ordering a programming cable and using the free "Chirp" software or the free Icom programming software to make programming easier but they are not difficult to program without that. These radios also have a "hidden" but built in "cross-band repeater" function that can be activated by pressing a combination of buttons. There are YouTube videos that walk you through this. Once activated, you can use this radio as a cross-band repeater to extend range of your portable radios! This is a great feature to have in remote areas where a portable radio may not reach a repeater but this 50w mobile can! I highly recommend this radio for both mobile or base use and I will likely be ordering at least 1 more for my wife's car! ... show more

  • Premium radio without outrageous price
The 2730 is a premium VHF/UHF radio. Since it is totally analog, it is plug and play. Using Chirp, the same file as the Baofeng UV-5 can be used for programming. Great radio. Easy to use. Top notch signal.

  • NOT as good as what you may think
I really like ICOM radios but this one leaves much to be desired. You have to buy extra parts that should have been included with your original purchased. I was charged at least 30 dollars over than what I should have, and to top it off making it worse it arrived late (not in a timely fashion) regardless of "so called delivery window" ... the selling company "should have" and "could have", done alot better .... but I learned alot from this purchase . BE careful is all i can say! ... show more
