Dale,

I've had mine for about 9 months. Run it mobile in the trunk of a 2000
Saturn Wagon with the control head on top of the dash panel. On-glass
dual-band antenna for day-to-day operation and a 5/8L mag mount for
fixed public service events.

I find it to be a FB radio once it's programmed and you're into regular
operation. Programming, compared to my previous three mobile rigs, is
not intuitive. You might even call it tedious! I always carry the
manual along in the glovebox.

I've used crossband without problem in a few situations. I've also NOT
discovered the IMD problem that other users report. However, I'm about
seven miles outside the urban Allentown, PA area, so the strong signals
are a few miles away...

One negative is the mic mounting plug in the control head. It's an
RJ-45 connector that takes a lot of strain. After ~ 6 months use, I had
reports of low audio. Turns out the connector had worked itself so it
no longer had a good contact. I rigged a strain relief for the cord and
the problem has disappeared. I miss the 8 pin standard mic connector of
old, but there just isn't room for them on the small modern day control
heads!

Good luck on your decision. In my opinion, it's a great radio for the
price.

I have been kicking around the idea of buying an IC-2720H and wonder if anyone
has any opinions pro or con on this radio.
