If you want all mode, your best bet is the TS-2000 which is a very good very
accessible radio. I use one daily for HF, I don't have it hooked up for VHF
or UHF right now but used to at the last QTH's and will again once the bees
vacate where I want to put that antenna, I'm not in a huge hurry though.
That or I may put the antenna where the satellite dish is now when I take
that down, I haven't decided for sure yet and I'm in no hurry.
