Hi Rich;
The ICOM W32A will do everything you want it to do.
In my opinion the radio is very accessible.
You can directly enter frequencies with the key pad and you can also program
your memories with the key pad and vfo knob as well.
I also have the software and the programming cable.
If you need any further help, please don't hesitate to ask.
