Nostalgia time again....
Way back, I owned an ICOM IC202. This was a 2m SSB/CW VXO controlled rig. The VXO covered 200kHz and behaved like a VFO. It had a very "military" look.Later, it was replaced by the IC202S. Many still use these today to drive microwave transverters. I used mine on 10m with a homebrewed transverter. It worked some impressive DX with 1W pep on 10m SSB with just a low wire dipole antenna.

I still have my IC202, even if not much in use.
I also have the IC402 (70cm) and the IC502 (6m). I should get them up and running for monitoring purposes, with some small omnidirectional antennas, of use them sa back-end for microwave transverters.
