Equipment for sale by individual Club Members:

Pricing and delivery details are set by the individual seller. Please contact them directly. 

Paul Kern (NK4P) longtime supporter and past Board Member/ Club President of ARTS in the mid-to late1990’s, has two radios he wishes to sell. Due to the high cost of shipping, I am offering a local pick-up discount of 10% off our negotiated prices. Additionally, I will offer another 5% discount to any recently newly licensed amateur radio operator including recent upgrades in the last 6 months in license class. I have recently upgraded my mobile (Icom 2730) and base station (Powerwerx DB750) 144 MHz/440 MHz transceivers, so these two units are looking for good homes.

1) IC-2730...................................................................$280.

The Icom IC-2730A is a dual-band VHF/UHF mobile amateur radio transceiver delivering up to 50 watts of RF output on both the 2-meter and 70-centimeter bands. It comes with a power cord, microphone, pre-programmed for many Louisville area local repeater frequencies, an RT Systems Programming cable (NOTE – no programming software is included as you will need to purchase it separately), a suitable remote cable for separating the control head from the main unit for mobile operation, and an electronic owner’s manual on a USB drive. Also be aware the IC 2730 does NOT support DSTAR. See pictures of remote head unit and be aware the Lido Cup Holder mounting DOES NOT come with the radio,

Key Specifications & Features:

RF Power Output: 50W on VHF and UHF.
Receive Bands: Wideband receiver covering 118–174 MHz and 375–550 MHz (includes AM airband, marine, and NOAA weather channels).
Simultaneous Receive: Supports VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF, and VHF/UHF dual-band simultaneous receive capabilities.
Tone Signaling: Built-in 50 CTCSS and 104 DTCS tones with split-tone function
Display & Layout: Features a large white backlit or high-contrast inverted LCD screen with symmetric controls, independent volume, squelch, and tuning knobs for each band.
Cross-Band Repeater: Capable of cross-band repeating via a manual power-on sequence.
Programming: Compatible with CHIRP, RT Systems, and Icom's free CS-2730 software

This unit when new is generally priced between $315 and $370 however I am asking $280 for this pre-owned radio.
