Yaesu: What's available with HF/VHF/UHF with full duplex?

[djringjr]

Is there something that covers HF with 100 watts and all mode V/UHF as I am antenna restricted I am interested in working satellite and duplex is an asset on satellite.

Not full duplex which satellite enthusiasts want. Amp can't be operated separate from the main unit. IOW, in a mobile installation, you can't mount the main unit near the driver with the amp in the trunk or under the seat. Both are "swing and a miss" on the part of Yaesu.

Not in current production, but there are some options...

The Kenwood TS-2000, Icom IC-9100, and Yaesu FT-847 (all out of production) would meet your requirement for 100W HF as well as being an all-mode VHF/UHF transceiver, including satellite functionality. Otherwise, you would probably end up with separate HF (or HF/6m) and VHF/UHF (2m/70cm, and possibly 1.2 GHz) transceivers to cover all of those bands.
