Looks like Icom is the only choice such as the

TS-2000 a very capable VHF/UHF/HF, SSB/AM/FM/PKT/RTTY/CW....did I miss
anything....Oh yes and the birds. It also has a built in .5 PPM TCXO
which you'll have to pay around $300 U.S. for in the IC-910. Nice to
have that extra stability for tracking the birds.

You also need to install a mast mounted preamp for the VHF/UHF work when
using the TS2000.

Just my opinion of course, but I think a lot of rig for the money.

At least its NOT a "Yaesu"..then it would be in the shop all the time
instead of in your radio room.

it's getting hard to market vhf/uhf only rigs, given the
all-in-one-bucket mentality nowdays, aka the 706/857/ts-2000 etcetera,
etcetera.

is the 910 really better at vhf/uhf than the ts-2000? the 910 review
in qst was only so-so.
