[VHFcontesting] Looking for input on multiband VHF/UHF all mode rigs

How about a Kenwood TS-2000X that will take you up to 1296.

Hi Everybody,

On Thursday, I will be geting a nice, big, fat profit sharing bonus at work. 
It'll be for several hundred dollars, and possibly as much as $1300.  Soooo, 
I'm looking to enhance my 2m, and get back my 432 capability.  With that in 
mind, I'm looking for the first time in 9 years, to purchase a multi-mode, 
multi-band rig (no, I don't want transverters if I can help it - my space is 
at a premium, and I don't feel like having to screw around with umpteen 
cables).  I'm looking to get my hands on at least a dual band, 2m & 432 rig. 
Expandability via a 1296 module like I used to have in my FT-736R back in 
the 90s would be nice, but isn't absolutely necessary.  What do the esteemed 
members of this list recommend?  The FT-736R like I used to use years ago, 
or something else?

73,
Ellen - AF9J
Grid EN-52xx
