Got my advanced UK amateur radio licence, need opinions on good radios covering the microwave bands?
I've only got about £1500 to spend and second hand could be an option. I want something that covers all of the bands, including as many of the microwave ones as possible. I know I may be limited to only the first few microwave bands.
More than 100 watts would be nice too.

Kenwood and Icom are both very good brands for amateur radio use and are what I'd select myself. Both have a selection of models that would work for you in either hand-held, mobile, or home use. Yaesu is alright I guess as well as Alinco but I find Kenwood and Icom usually have better quality.

commercial ham radio gear usually stops at 450MHz (US 70cm band is 420 to 450MHZ, most everywhere else it stops at 440MHz)...
900MHz and us is usually converted commercial radio equipment.
An exception to this is a couple 1.2GHz transceivers, but here in W-land, only the east coast and the west coast are into 1.2GHz
For 10/24GHz, it is all converted military with very very few amateur/experimenters kits.
