Yes, I have a Kenwood TS-2000X, which is good for 100 watts on 6m and 2m, 50 watts on 432 MHz and 10 watts on 1296 MHz. I bought it for that purpose.

The only thing missing is the 222 MHz band, and the only activity on that band in this, the second-largest metropolitan area in the US, is during contests, and most of that is on FM. Apparently that was not the case here, 10 or so years ago. I don't think your IC-9100 does 222 MHz, either.

With a K3S, I wouldn't even consider using the TS-2000X on HF.

The 100w would give you more choice of amps and running without one for a lot 
of modes. I have an IC-9100 and it does all of those bands plus HF and D-Star. 
But a K line one would be very appealing.

I'd give that another big  "Hmmmm".

A 21 century FT-736  the size of a K3...???

144, 222, 432 & maybe 1296 optional.  Where do I
sign?

It would certainly be more convenient than a bunch
of transverters.

I don't think it would have to run much power to
be useful since anyone serious is gonna have some
big amps anyway.

In the effort of compactness, maybe 5 to 10 watts
tri-band + a couple watts on 1296 as a field
installable option.

      Hmmmm, a K3 version of a Yaesu FT-736?  I
would be seriously down for that!

Excellent idea except for power output a 100w
for an all mode would be good but in a K3s cabinet
and  many of its features.

I humbly submit the following product idea to
Elecraft.



A two meter all mode radio, encased in the
current KX3 body. All the components of this radio
are already
being made by Elecraft, except for a needed
ATU. Suggested price $500. I'd also recommend
making it at least
25-50 watts output. If 70cm can be added, so
much the better.
