Brian,

I own and you can't go wrong with the Kenwood TS590 S.  Everything 
speaks and its on sale right now if you can find one.  There is a newer 
model called the SG, but most of the SG's features will be ported over 
to the S model next month through a software update. The TS590S covers 
160 through 6 meters including all of the warp bands.
