Technical description IC-2730
The Icom IC-2730E mobile transceiver offers true dual-band operation, i.e. operation with two active receivers simultaneously. Reception of 2 x VHF or 2 x UHF is also possible (V/U, V/V, U/U). The transmitter uses robust power amplifier modules with 50 W max. transmit power on each band. Of course, the transmitting power can also be reduced. More than 1000 memories help to organise the most popular frequencies and always have them quickly at hand. The receiver ranges from 118 to 174 MHz and from 375 to 550 MHz, thus also enabling reception of aeronautical radio (AM) or marine radio (FM).
The control unit is decoupled from the main unit and can be operated remotely with the enclosed cable. If the control unit is to be mounted directly on the main unit, the MBA-4 mounting option is available. For remote operation, Icom offers the bracket MBA-5 and the mounting foot MBF-1 for the control unit, as well as the mounting bracket MBF-4 for the main unit.
With the programming software CS-2730 (requires optional programming cable OPC-478UD), which is available free of charge, the many memories and setting options of the IC-2730E can be conveniently managed on the computer and stored in different variants. Many other functions such as CTCSS, DTCS, remote control microphone, etc. round off the IC-2730E's range as a perfect built-in unit for the vehicle or for the shack at home.
Application description IC-2730
The essential controls are available separately for each band and are arranged symmetrically. This means that the unit can be operated easily and without uncertainty, especially in the car. The large and very high-contrast white LC display also contributes to this.
An outstanding feature of the IC-2730E is the possibility to equip the unit with Bluetooth. The optional UT-133 module adds Bluetooth functions to the mobile transceiver. As a headset, Icom offers the VS-3. This headset allows radio operation not only by PTT, but also by VOX. This enables "hands-free" operation, i.e. the possibility of making radio calls without a cumbersome microphone cable and without constantly pressing the PTT button, as is now also the rule for mobile operation when driving. Three remote control buttons on the VS-3 offer remote control of the radio's most important functions.
With a width of 150 mm, a height of 50 mm and a depth of only 27.2 mm as well as 140 g, the control unit of the IC-2730E is very handy and yet not too small. The main unit is also compact, measuring 150 mm x 40 mm x 151 mm and 1.2 kg, and will fit anywhere. The power supply of 13.8 V / 13 A is possible with a mains adapter, but also by battery mobile or on a field day or expedition.
