If there are any ham/pilots out there, I'd recommend looking around for the ARC-182 radio.  They are becoming more and more common on the marketplace (I own 3).  They cover the standard VHF civil aeronautical band, plus the military 225-399.975 Mhz band, plus 6 meter and 2 meter FM.  All in one radio.  In fact, they also cover the Maritime Mobile Band.. and MORE.  A lot of which is not legal to use, but a lot that is ..... with the right license.

Sounds like a slick radio. Do they do FM as well as AM? Aviation, both 

VHF and UHF, uses AM while VHF maritime mobile is FM.

Mark Bitterlich answered: 

Actually Brian yes... it does both AM and FM, BUT is NOT switchable in certain areas.  For example it will NOT do AM in the Marine Band.  It will not do FM in the VHF AIR band.  In other words, it tries to keep you from making stupid mistakes.  It is a little hard to set up for repeaters...actually it is a pain in the tail to set up for repeaters!  It also does not like things with 5 Khz offsets.  BUT... for a single radio that you can put into an airplane... it's pretty cool.  Has a remote head of course and the radio mounts in a rack.  It's not HUGE though.  Smaller than the Russian YAK-52 radio, and would fit right into the place that thing currently sits.    

All of the new military radios do this now (AM and FM with large frequency ranges)... the ARC-210 series being the current newest and best in the lot... but those puppies are very hard to find used.... if not impossible.    

All of the 182's however are coming out, as the new ARC-210's go in.
