I've been on HF for years, but am new to VHF/UHF.

I'm thinking of getting a VHF/UHF base station and it looks like the only
thing around is the ICOM IC-910H. Is there a reason for this? Because of
this, it seems to me that most people must not have a base station for
these bands.

Is this correct?

Many of the newer HF rigs come with one or more VHF/UHF bands so if a person
has one of those, there is no need for a separate base station for VHF/UHF.

For example, I have the TS-2000. In addition to the MF/HF bands, it has 6m,
2m, and 440. So I have all-mode capability for these bands. Plus I can buy
a 1.2G
module and add external transverters for other bands.
