[Milsurplus] What is a good VHF/UHF base station?

[Peter Gottlieb]

I'd like a good quality base station for VHF-UHF.  It would be nice if it had an 
auto antenna tuner, but in any case it should be protected for driving any 
load.  I'd _ideally_ like 108 to about 500 MHz, AM/NBFM, nice if NTIA compliant 
to use on public safety and gov't (as authorized).  I won't ever need to 
transmit in many areas (such as 225-400) but reception and AM mode would be 
useful.  P25 would be cool but way down my list.

What exists for this?  The WJ 8618 is such a nice general purpose receiver, but 
what can touch it as a transmitter or transceiver?  I want a step up from the 
typical Yaesu/Kenwood/Icom consumer stuff. What mil or gov't stuff is out there 
that would do this?
