I don't view there are many serious VHF and UHF operators today, i.e.
sufficient to warrant a high performance radio. Most are repeater
users. Seems that a $39 radio model has been proven to be satisfactory
to most.
The SAT users do require some unique applications to cross band, split
frequency and address Doppler shift. The Tropo users need big antennas
and lots of power and the EME group even more so. Oh yes, the digital
modes make things less complex but still, big antennas, good receivers
and clean transmitters is still mandatory.
I don't find the current breed of "do it all" radios to have outstanding
performance on VHF and UHF.

Full cross band duplex. I'll look more closely after my rig is built and on the
air. Makes for an expensive stand alone UHF/VHF rig tho unless you want HF too.
But then it's probably overkill just to work SATs. I'll bet with the correct
transverter we could hear the mars rovers tho.

I’d be interested in that spec too!
Built-in soundcard for digital modes (with one USB connection for it and rig
control) would be nice as well.

If they did a stand alone UHF/VHF I'd suggest it have dual receivers,
cross band tx/rx capability and VFO tracking based on Doppler built in
for SAT work.

My one request to Eric, last year at his presentation at Pacificon,
was for a standalone, all-mode transceiver for 2m and above.
My rationale was that, since Elecraft sells transverters for 2m, 220
MHz and
432 MHz, they already have the technology to make this possible.
It came down to the fact that there may not be a large enough market
for such a transceiver. Makes sense.
