[Elecraft] Would anyone like to see an all-mode VHF/UHF offering from Elecraft?

[Jim Lowman]

A friend on another list came up with the idea of an all-mode 
transceiver for 2m and above.
It would be especially nice to see coverage of 1.25m, and possibly 70cm, 
33 cm and 23 cm.

If such support for 1.25m, especially, is forthcoming, it looks like an 
American manufacturer would be the best candidate, since that band is 
authorized only in Region 2.
The only offerings from the JA manufacturers for 1.25m are FM-only, thus 
far.

We know that the designers and engineers at Elecraft are up to it, since 
they offer transverter kits up through 70cm.

Whether it would be economical to bring it to market is another question.
It would be perfect for Technician-class hams, if they could be 
convinced that there's more out there than the repeaters.

Opinions?
