But, where do you stop?

My 99v beats betty

Two meters. That’s a stopping point..

I’d take that Robyn as is. No changes.

If you could pick any radio off the shelf, and add or subtract features as you see fit...or even design from scratch...what would the result look like?

How about upgrading the good old Lafayette HB625 mobile to a SSB radio and call it good?

I wish someone would make Amateur radios, especially VHF/UHF models, that had a button that had an option to automatically program all repeaters within a given radius of the current location.
I am seriously put off by the complication of programming radios. After all, this is the 21st century....

Do away with ALL export junk. So much poor designing in exports.... from noisy RX, to overheated output/PA sections, to bad IF mixing stages, there just isn't anything good about them. Get rid of them entirely.
For CB's, go back to leaded solder so they are more reliable in a mobile, less prone to failed solder joints. Re-design the clarifier circuits for increased stability. Want a blueprint for all this? Go back to the late 1970's and early 1980's. Far better QC, better TX and RX, and far better frequency stability.
Wishful thinking, though.

You are obviously a radio operator with good taste and will not tolerate junk in your radio room.
