Hi Mike,
We ALL WISH someone would make a 222 multimode rig but no one does anymore.
Yaesu had the FT736R which had a 222 module for it and it worked decently.
Icom had their IC-375 which matched their 575, 275 and 475 but *IF* you van
find one they are stupid expensive. Your best bet still is a DEMI
(Q5Signal) transverter which requires a 10M IF. I believe they still have a
high power version which is 50ish watts. There are Larcan 222 kw amps still
floating around.
