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?
