  Kenwood used to make the TS-60, which is physically the same size and
layout as the multi-band TS-50 but it's just for 50MHz, all-modes. I have
one as a mobile altho it's a bit big for mounting under the dash. :-)

  You might also find a Ten-Tek "6-n-2" rig, it does 2m and 6m all-mode
and has I think only 20W PEP on USB. Both rigs have a scan mode, and
a squelch control that works on SSB. :-)
