Insulting people probably won't get you what you're looking for. I did a search of the QST archive and came up empty, so I doubt if there was an article (I could be mistaken). Most kits out there are for HF equipment usually QRP (low power), I don't personally know of a 2m/70cm kit of any

Kevin, I agree with Jeff. The last time there were dedicated VHF radios was when Heath still made them. But today you can find very nice HF radio kits and 2m and 70cm transceiver kits, which together make a fine multi-mode VHF/UHF radio. I would recommend the K2 HF radio kit from Elecraft
