>> Wayne and Eric are smart dudes, for sure.  I don't know that they are into VHF, UHF to the degree needed to do what you ask.  They do have a team of engineers, also very bright and HAM interested, so the request may eventually take hold.  I would love a K2 or K3 style platform for VHF, UHF based on the Elecraft design features to include features such as full duplex, etc.  I don't know what the market for such equipment might be, but they might wish to respond to our interest?!  I would enjoy such equipment and they could allow space for modules to be added which would include even higher freq stuff for those who wanted it.

I am thinking of possibly a three band radio but at least two (2 meter, 70 cm) and optionally 1240-1300 MHz.  All mode of course!  10 to 15 watts output would be all that is necessary (IMO).
