I have a KX-3 if you want to actually touch one. All mode 160-6M with 2M available. 5w on battery, 10w on external DC.

--- "The best number is 73. Why? 73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror (37) is the 12th and its mirror (21) is the product of multiplying, 7 and 3. ... In binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001 which backwards is 1001001."

It appears that the only real option for voice, CW, and data is going to be the FT-817 or one of the way-more-expensive Elecraft rigs.  I might try to pick up one of the Norcal transceivers as I've always wanted to play with one.
