I'll cut to the chase...save some money, and get maybe an Icom
IC-706MKIIG.
Once the 'repeater novelty' wears off, you're gonna want to do 2/440 SSB,
and maybe some 6-meters as well. Then if you upgrade your ticket to
General,
you'll already have an HF rig to boot.

of
a Yaesu FT8900R as a mobile and a home unit will suitable power supply.
Thanks
