Ed,

    Have you looked at the Yaesu FT-817 ?

    I have one and it is my favorite radio of all the ones I have or have owned previously.  You would have to pry it from my "cold dead hands".

Ed,
When you say multiple bands, 10 watts, low power consumption, I don't know anything in the economical range. The new Elecraft KX2 meets your first three requirements at $750 base, but well over $1000 with its extras. I had the same requirements for a base station QRP radio and ended up with a K2 at over $1000 when I had it set up like I wanted. No free lunch that I know of.
