I've had two 2720s. Intermod is no worse than any other dual-band I've
used. 
The squelch attenuator is a big help. Operation is NOT intuitive. I
always 
have to use the manual when doing operations like selecting a channel
group 
or placing a memory in a channel group, and others. I find this very 
frustrating at times. Casual observation of the transmitter and receive 
quality is very good. I prefer the operation of a Yaesu FT-8100, but
they 
are an even bigger intermod sponge than the 2720. One thing I found the 
other day. I you have a channel with the tone squelch function
activated. 
Then attempt to initiate a memory scan. It went into "tone scan". If I
want 
to scan the memories, I must start it from a memory that has tone
squelch 
activated. I don't know what you'd do if all the memories were using
tone 
squelch. In the future, I plan to get another IC-2800. I think it's a
better 
rig than the 2720. I don't have the serial number. I am not at home
right 
now.
