Turning power ON/OFF

➥

Push [PWR] for 1 sec. to turn power ON and OFF.

D

MAIN band

The IC-2720H can receive 144 MHz and 430(440) MHz band
signals simultaneously. To activate all functions access or to
change frequency via the microphone, you must designate
one band as the main band. The transceiver transmits a sig-
nal on the main band only.

➥

Push the desired band’s [MAIN•BAND] to select the main
band.

• “

Q

” indicates the main band.

➥

Push [BAND] to toggle the main band between
left and right bands.

D

Operating frequency band selection

In the default condition, or after resetting the CPU, 2 m band
is assigned in the left band, 70 cm band is assigned in the
right band. However, the 2 m band can also be assigned into
the right, and 70 cm band can also be assigned into the left
band.

q

Push the desired band’s [MAIN•BAND] for 1 sec.

• Frequency band initial appears.

w

Rotate the same band’s [DIAL] to select the desired fre-
quency band.

• Pushing [

Y

]/[

Z

] on the microphone also selects the band.

e

Push the [MAIN•BAND] to return to frequency indication in
the selected frequency band.
