Hi Kay,

I own 2 2720s and our county R.A.C.E.S. has over a dozen in strategic
locations. The intermod susceptibility is no worse than any other radio with
wide band coverage. The dual band antenna is mounted on the EOC tower along
with all the VHF/UHF public safety antennas.

I do use the DCI 144-444DB filter on my fixed station because the antenna is
up 80 feet and I want to hear/work weak simplex stations. This is necessary
because I live close to a hospital with 3 250W VHF paging transmitters on
152.24, 158.7 and the hospitals 160 something.

In the mobile I just work repeaters and the squelch/attenuator works fine.

Operating the radio from the front panel is a nightmare, however from the
microphone is sweet.

HNY,

Bob, W3PT
