[ICOM] There Is A Dual Bander That Can Do VHF/VHF and UHF/UHF 08/1917

[Stephen Budensiek]

Hello,
   The Icom 2720 dual bander also does this.  Can do U/U, V/V, V/U, or
U/V.  When doing a V/U, or U/V, you can receive on the one band while
transmitting on the other.  Have 2 of them, used them for years.
