Icom 7300 is on discount with the mk 2 coming, and I really like the 705. The QMX+ is a good kit for a couple hundred bucks. They say 100W and a wire, but I think 10W, a NanoVNA, and a small wire is a more efficient setup.

Some other thoughts... An OpenSpot 4 Pro is a good investment, especially with Icom stuff, because you can do D-Star. The OS4 will also let you go to DMR and YSF from your D-Star radio. It's pretty powerful. The ultimate equipment loadout might be ID-50/IC-705/OpenSpot. You could add an amp for even more flexibility, and never need to buy another piece of gear.
