In the late 20th century, ICOM produced a range of VHF and UHF portables, that worked on SSB and CW. Their style was very military.
I owned the IC202 which covered 200kHz on 2m using a very clever VXO. Using a home-designed transverter it worked the world with 1W SSB on 10m with simple wire dipoles or a CB vertical.
On 2m it worked some amazing DX handheld using just the whip on the rig.
