BLACK EDITION

Dual Bander with High-contrast Black Inverted LCD

Description

Practical Dual Bander

The Black Edition of Our Long-selling IC-2730E, FM Mobile Transceiver, Now Available with Black Inverted LCD. With the addition of the Black Edition of IC-2730E, users can choose between the existing classic White LCD and the new Black LCD, tailored to suit personal style, vehicle interior and operating conditions. Enjoy comfortable mobile operation with excellent operability and multiple functions including VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF simultaneous reception, 50 W of output on VHF and UHF etc.

VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF Simultaneous Receive

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

High-contrast Large Black Inverted LCD

The display size of the IC-2730E is 91 mm × 27 mm view area. The frequency and channel name are displayed larger, and the black inverted LCD provides higher contrast.

Easy Controller Mounting with the Optional MBF-1

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

50W of output on VHF and UHF

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

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

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

Controller Attachment to the Main Unit with Optional MBA-4

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

Wideband Receiver

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

* Receiver range differs depending on version.

Optional Active Noise Canceling Microphone

The optional active noise canceling microphone HM-209 can automatically reduce noise in extremely noisy environments and assist in transmitting clear and accurate audio.
