## Overview

The Icom IC-2730A is a rugged, water-resistant dual-band mobile radio delivering 50 watts of power on both VHF and UHF bands. Featuring simultaneous dual receive capability, a large high-contrast LCD, and optional Bluetooth headset compatibility, it’s engineered for professionals who demand reliable, hands-free communication on the move. With over 1,000 programmable channels and flexible mounting options, this radio ensures you never miss a beat in any environment.

## Description

The IC-2730A 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. The optional VS-3 Bluetooth® headset can wirelessly control the IC-2730A with three programmable and a PTT button. It also provides VOX operation for hands-free communication. (Optional UT-133 Bluetooth® unit must be installed in the IC-2730A.) The display size of the IC-2730A is 1.5 times larger its predecessor, the IC-2720H. Frequency display and channel names are larger, and the white backlight provides higher contrast.

Review: 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!
Review: 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 desertcart.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this radio tx on gmrs channels**
A: It's a ham radio. 430 to 450 MHz in the UHF range, not 462 or 467 (GMRS). You will need a Part 95 GMRS radio if you want to Tx legally in the USA  on GMRS channels. This radio does not have that certification. You cannot legally modify this radio (or any other radio) to TX on GMRS in the USA . You may program it to MONITOR on GMRS or anything else from 118 MHz to 174 MHz or from 375 to 550 MHz.

**Q: I know there's an optional bluetooth headset for this radio. Does that mean it can broadcast its audio through bluetooth?**
A: You need to install UT-133/UT133A module in the rear of the radio.   and then get the VS-3 bluetooth receiver.   Bobs your uncle

**Q: Some responses are a few years old. my question is if i order a 2730a on may 3, 2020, will it still be made in japan?**
A: Yes

**Q: does the program disc come with it? or is it extra?**
A: Good software is extra, but you can get basic software free from ICOM or CHIRP. No matter what you do, you need a cable. RT Systems has the best software. ...$50 with cable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
*by F***T on December 10, 2025*

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.
