Radio qualifies for $20 Rebate good through 3-31-2021 on the Icom America website
Icom introduces the new IC-2300H, 144MHz mobile transceiver. The IC-2300H is the update model of the popular IC-2200H. The IC-2300H retains the same basic features from the IC-2200H; powerful 65W output power, simple-to-use user interface, built-in CTCSS and DTCS encoder/decoder, etc. While keeping those basic features, the IC-2300H is packed in to a smaller body (in depth) than the IC-2200H.
The IC-2300H can generate 65W of output power. The rugged aluminum diecast chassis provides effective heat dissipation and keeps RF output even during high duty cycle continuous transmission. Output power is selectable in 4-steps (65/25/10/5W*). * Depending on version.
The IC-2300H retains the basic panel layout and its user interface from the IC-2200H. Current IC-2200H users will be comfortably familiar with the IC-2300H operation. The bottom of the display indicates the available functions of the front panel buttons directly below the display.
The IC-2300H has a 70.6×20 mm LCD display with 6 large alphanumeric characters offering a good viewing angle suitable for mobile operation. The backlight color of the display is selectable from amber, yellow and green for your visual enjoyment.
The IC-2300H has a total of 207 memory channels, including 200 regular channels, 6 scan edges and 1 call channel. The channel name is programmable with 6 characters for easy recognition.
The CTCSS and DTCS tones are built-in for quiet stand-by and repeater access. The tone scan function detects the sub-audible tone that is used for repeater access. The pocket beep function gives you an audible and visual indicator of an incoming call.
The IC-2300H is built tough to protect from a rough road. It has been tested to and has passed the latest MIL-STD 810 G specifications including shock, vibration and temperature tests.

Ordered this radio on Sunday 8/9 and got an email before noon eastern time on Monday saying it had shipped. The radio is great. A fellow ham had loaned me the prior version IC 2200H of this radio so I basically knew what I was getting. This review is mostly about the prompt service and quick shipping from MTC. They even printed the rebate form and sent me two copies of the invoice. I really like doing business like that. The price is even better than the bigger guys. Thank you MTC. You guys have made a customer for life.

I am really enjoying this radio. I was quickly able to manually program the club repeater frequency and select the offset and tone with no problem. I like the choice of color for the display (Using Green). I feel this radio is a great value for the price. Shipping was fast !
