Does anyone make a 10 & 2 meter rig besides the Yaesu FT-8900R? It is only FM. I have seen some full HF & VHF rigs but they are super expensive.

If you buy a 10 meter radio, maybe a 2950DX and an elecraft transverter you can have both.
The transverter uses the 10 meter radio to operate on 2 meter

The only reasonable ones I am able to find are the Icom 7000, Icom 706MK2, and Yaesu FT-897D (I've eliminated the 8900 since it's FM only). Any help in decision making? Things like ctcss, digital, etc...
I've used all of those radios. The Icom 7000 is the best of the three, but also the most expensive. They all cover the basic functions but the DSP is a little better in the 7000. It also has better receiver, memory management, menus, and a bunch of bells and whistles that the others don't have. The price also reflects the difference...
