Steve,

If you are interested in a handheld with six meters you may want to consider
the Icom Ic-t90A.  The rig is accessible and has a cw frequency readout.  I
think the last good Yaesu rigs were the 208-r, the 708-r and the ft736r with
speech board.  I had the 208/408 series back in the 80's and have my trusty
736r as a vhf/uhf base rig.  I in addition heard over the years that the
847r was good as far as accessibility.  The vx series of equipment gets a
thumbs down from me.
