VHF/UHF Dual Band Mobile Transceiver for Simultaneous Multi-Frequency Monitoring

Equip your base station or automotive dashboard with 50 Watts of selectable dual-band RF power.

The Icom 2730A is a premium multi-frequency radio system engineered for reliable cross-band communication. This genuine Icom 2730A VHF/UHF Dual Band Mobile Transceiver for Amateur Radio delivers a powerful 50 Watts of RF transmission capabilities across both the 2-meter (144–148 MHz) and 70-centimeter (420–450 MHz) operational spectrums. Featuring an advanced dual-receive architecture, the Icom 2730A allows radio operators to monitor VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF, or mixed frequency combinations concurrently with entirely independent audio volume and squelch adjustments.

Perfect for amateur operators, skywarn spotters, and mobile utility teams, the Icom 2730A simplifies tracking dual channels simultaneously while driving or operating a stationary command setup. The physical interface uses a detached remote controller layout with a high-contrast white backlit LCD screen that provides quick frequency legibility at a glance. To facilitate secure hands-free automotive execution, the 2730A can be upgraded to support the wireless VS-3 Bluetooth headset, though operators must install the internal UT-133/A processing module to establish the wireless configuration.

Before completing deployment planning, buyers must note that the remote display controller and main body housing ship as standalone units to provide maximum cabin mounting flexibility. Coupling the controller faceplate directly to a flat surface or holding it via an auxiliary suction pedestal requires separate installation brackets such as the MBA-5 or MBA-4 mechanical plates. Furthermore, the integrated wideband receiver built into the Icom 2730A allows for continuous surveillance of civilian aviation AM airbands, marine channels, and weather frequencies outside standard ham spectrum boundaries.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Simultaneous Dual Receive: The Icom 2730A VHF/UHF Dual Band Mobile Transceiver for Amateur Radio checks two active signals concurrently with separate dedicated controller dials.
  • High-Power RF Performance: Selectable 50-Watt, 15-Watt, or 5-Watt power thresholds optimize battery consumption and maximize coverage thresholds.
  • Bluetooth Operational Readiness: Accommodates optional hands-free components and wireless voice-activated VOX functions for elevated in-vehicle driver safety.
  • Enhanced Contrast Display: Fitted with an expanded white backlit LCD display that is 1.5 times larger than previous generations for rapid alpha-numeric identification.
  • Split Tone Coordination: Permits independent sub-audible CTCSS and DTCS signaling values for modern repeater split-frequency channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the controller attach to the main unit out of the box?

No, the control faceplate and the main transceiver body are designed as detached modules to enable flexible vehicle installation options. To mount them together as a single unified radio piece, you must purchase the optional MBA-4 combining bracket separately.

Is the VS-3 Bluetooth headset included with this mobile radio?

No, the wireless VS-3 headset is sold separately. Activating the integrated hands-free Bluetooth audio features also requires the installation of the internal UT-133/A Bluetooth receiver board inside the radio chassis.

Can the Icom 2730A receive civilian aviation frequencies?

Yes, the wideband receiver built into this transceiver supports continuous scanning of the civilian airband spectrum from 118 MHz to 136 MHz in AM mode, alongside standard marine and public safety frequencies.

Great room divider
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-88''
This is a room divider and would work great as one! I’m using it as a cover for my car port/garage so you can’t look in and see my messy garage as easily and for what I’m using it for it’s a little not quite as sturdy as I need it to but I’m sure it’s not meant to be used outside anyways so I don’t fault the product since I’m not using it as intended… with that said though…. It still covers my garage beautifully and really does exactly what a I need it to! I’m sure the wind may blow it over if it gets too crazy but I don’t see it breaking by any means. The frame is metal and drilled together using long screws. It’s very well built. The cloth for the panels is this waterproof type material that’s kind of like the gazebo roof feeling. So it’s easy to clean and it’s easy to wipe. You can put it straight or bend the panels and either way it still stands up. You don’t HAVE to bend it to make it stand or anything. You can literally use it straight across like I am in the pictures. Overall very happy with this product and it’s also very tall so it truly covers a lot (hides a lot lol). I’m 5’8 so you can see it’s taller than me by the pic I took

OK. Drag to setup. Needs more stable feet
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-88''
I was glad to find these. The benefits of having them in a recording setup is helping suppressing noise for a vocal booth. It's a layer that surrounds the recording box. Nice! (But away from audio hardware or DAW). Here is the not so nice part: The feet! It's able to stand (as it needs to do this). But it cannot be bumped. If it does, it's coming down onto something. I believe the feet units are not wide enough (or long enough). That makes for an easier tumble risk. So far, they haven't, but it's like being in the woods over leaves - it feels dangerous with every step! (That's actually true). They are tall enough, wide enough, material OK. But the feet for the main assembly do not seem sturdy enough. There are ways to help that. I'm thinking a 2x4 to augment the base. Make them wider. It can be done. It was a drag to set these up, and I'm sure to modify them like i'd want them. But, they do come in at a much lower price that other similar dividers. Consider all this because I've seen more solid dividers ( with padding) that would basically be the 1/2 cost of these. But i'd think they'd be easier to assemble, stand sturdier, and without that feeling of an impending fall (or fail). This is my opinion. I hope it helps.

wrong size of metal components. incorrect items. non functioning
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-88''
The owner of this product sent me the incorrect pieces when I tried to install. It didn’t fit. The pieces were missing holes and once I connected the wrong pieces after knowing now they’re stuck and I can’t return them even though Amazon was kind enough to refund me. I just want to warn people this product is such a disappointment because it looks good. It’s good price, but you can’t even assemble the thing very disappointed.

Sturdy Folding Room Divider with Good Privacy Coverage and Modern Look
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-88''
I picked this room divider up to help separate space in a room without needing permanent walls, and overall it works very well for creating privacy while still looking clean and modern. The size is one of the biggest advantages. At 6 feet tall and roughly 88 inches wide, it creates a noticeable visual separation and works well for apartments, dorms, offices, studios, shared rooms, or content creation setups where you want to hide clutter or define different areas. The black fabric and frame design give it a simple modern appearance that blends easily into most spaces without looking overly decorative or outdated. It has a clean minimalist look that works especially well in offices, bedrooms, gaming rooms, or studio environments. Assembly was fairly straightforward overall. Once fully put together, the divider feels reasonably stable for normal indoor use. The folding panel design also makes it flexible enough to angle different ways depending on the room layout. The portability is another strong point. Since it folds down, it is much easier to move or reposition compared to permanent partitions or heavier wooden dividers. That makes it practical for temporary privacy setups or changing room layouts frequently. Privacy performance is solid visually. It blocks sightlines well enough for changing areas, workspaces, video backgrounds, or separating sections of a room. The fabric also softens the space slightly instead of feeling harsh or industrial. One thing worth noting is that while it provides visual privacy, it is not soundproof. It helps define space and reduce some openness, but conversations and noise will still pass through normally. The material quality feels decent for the price range. The frame is lightweight but functional, though I would still avoid rough handling or constant aggressive repositioning over time. Value for money is good considering the size, flexibility, and convenience. Similar room dividers can become expensive quickly, especially for taller multi-panel setups. Overall, this is best for anyone needing an affordable flexible way to create separation and privacy in shared or open spaces. It works especially well for apartments, dorms, offices, studios, remote work setups, or content creators wanting a cleaner background without permanent construction.
