Rigs like the Icom IC-706 and IC-7000 come to mind. These give you
those bands as well as HF. The advantage to radios like this is that
you can operate SSB on 6-meters. I think you would be much better of
with SSB than FM if you are interested in DX.

I'm looking for a Mobile/Base FM rig that will cover 6M, 2M and 440 MHz. I
see the Yaesu FT-8900R fits the bill, but are there any other rigs out
there?

BTW, how common is 6M FM anyway? Could I expect some interesting DX in FM
mode when 6M opens up?
