Good question. I have a VX-8DR which has tagging, although I don't believe it has a lot of characters. It is out of production now. It does have very wide coverage, from the AM broadcast band to 995 MHz, less cellular of course. It only has AM or FM modes. It even covers the FM broadcast band with full stereo sound.
This HT was not popular with a lot of those who bought it. It's operation is somewhat complex and it's 4 band Tx/Rx was useless to most hams who didn't have access to 6 or 1.25 meter repeaters. It transmits on 6, 1.25, 2, and .70 meters.
A lot of these units where returned due to the above reasons and they are available on Amazon and eBay. I enjoy mine, it is quite small and works well in pair with my FT-8900R which has 6 meters also.
I looked it up. The tagging has 16 characters
I still enjoy my VX-8DR.
They should make configuring a radio by hand, without a manual, part of a practical test for your first ticket. It's sad hearing new and even old timers out there that don't know how to properly operate equipment. At least RTFM...
Although not as wide coverage as the above, as mentioned previously, FT-2DR could work since it has two VFOs.

The FTM-100/400 do not have speakers in the head units. You would need an external speaker like the MLS-200-M10 if the body speaker was not adequate.
