Or, if you don't care for HF, get a Ten-Tec 526 aka "6n2"

You'll get all-modes on six and two meters, tone, memories, and 20w output.

Just wish that Ten-Tec would go ahead and at least make a 50w version.

"Why, it appears that we appointed all of our worst generals to
command the armies and we appointed all of our best generals to edit
the newspapers. I mean, I found by reading a newspaper that these
editor generals saw all of the defects plainly from the start but
didn't tell me until it was too late. I'm willing to yield my place
to these best generals and I'll do my best for the cause by editing a
newspaper." --Robert E. Lee
