Note
The IC-2700 series is a multi-function dual-band FM transceiver. It features a remote-controllable front panel that can be mounted separately from the main body, allowing for flexible installation in various vehicle types. The unit is designed to handle both VHF and UHF bands simultaneously and includes specialized functions for repeater use, memory management, and advanced signaling like DTMF and paging.
The "A" version in low power, and the "H" version is high power. See text for specifics.
Features
– Dual-Band Operation: Simultaneous reception and display of VHF and UHF bands.
– Remote Control Capability: The front panel can be detached and installed separately from the main transceiver body using optional cables.
– Comprehensive Memory: Includes memory channels, call channels, and "scratch pad" memories for temporary frequency storage.
– Advanced Signaling: Supports pager functions, code squelch, and DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) memory and remote control.
– Selective Calling: Includes a pocket beep and tone squelch function (some versions require optional units).
– Flexible Scanning: Offers full scan, programmed scan, and memory scan options to find active frequencies quickly.
– Power Management: Multiple transmit output power levels (High, Mid, and Low) to conserve energy and manage signal range.
– Voice Synthesis: Can announce the accessed band frequency in a synthesized voice when an optional UT-66 unit is installed.
