Hmmm...
Kinda have to tell this by pictures... Fewer words - save the rest of you guys from wading thru metaphors and predicates just to get the meaning...
You can find a lot of those "desired" features here in the Forums but I'll just do a photo album...
I also like the Mongoose for it's looks and ease of conversion - but didn't know really where to put it, - so not to be left out - the faceplate looks of it are attached...

As far as Modes?
Oh, SSB, AM are perfectly fine, FM? Really? But your choice.
The SSB side - make it's clarifier a selectable one so those whom want fixed,
versus TX tracks RX slide - changeable as desired,
like Pull on to track, Push off to restore fixed TX with RX tunable...
Channels? Well, to me a SuperStar 360 or Cobra DX - works....
