At the Elecraft presentation that Eric did at Pacificon last year, I threw out this exact idea for his consideration.

Given that Elecraft already has the technology to produce tranverters for the K2 and K3 for 2m, 222 MHz and 432 MHz, I suggested a single box to contain all three bands, all modes, and with a minimum of 50 watts output.

Eric was receptive to the concept, but said he didn't think that there would be a large enough market for such a transceiver. He's also the business guy with Elecraft, so I have to believe what he said.

Submitting the idea to the list a while back, the general consensus seemed to agree, adding that the VHF/UHF weak-signal operator pool is shrinking.

The discussion is in the archives.

An all-mode VHF/UHF, 30 to 50 watt radio in a KX3 - sized box?  (;-)

If you're going to go multi-band VHF/UHF, including 220 MHz would be very
nice.
