LOL we been saying that since Kirk wore a red shirt....
Lot of HAMMY stuff out there that comes close to the lightweight ideal in a lot of the bands, problem is when we attach the 10-pound "MILSPEC" plate on it. Heck the 132 beat most everything out there in HF-land long before it's time but never caught on (and it sucked to pack due to the configuration).
Multiband is the way to go. Software defined systems that can be reprogrammed on the fly will be the ticket. Cognizant systems are down the road, but most of the big name manufacturers are scared of the concept (along with the spectrum regulators)
