[Icom] Any IC-2720H Users Out There?

Sun, 12 Jan 2003 23:12:05 -0500

Hello Steve,
I can say that it is bad or good, I have had some kind
of intermod on every radio I have owned.
It does have a really hot receiver and is broad banded
so that may be what attributes to some overloading in high
RF areas.
Well, not sure what programming independent is going to
do other than limit the use of each side.
On the 2720 you can have VV, UU, UV, VU.
Is has banks that are named A to J and can be on
receive in either left or right side, A & I or B & J etc.
You can scan VFO on one side and memories on the other.
This is a really flexible radio frequency wise in my opinion.

Hope this helps.
