The Icom IC-34AT (2m and 440) can be modified for extended transmit. I have one that has been modified for 138-174 and 400-479 transmit. Can even key the local police repeaters if you know the PL freq. Of course, the radio doesn't like the extreme edges of both bands and transmit quality is poor. Unmodified, the radio will transmit below and above the 2-meter band...140-144 and 148-150.

The modification procedure is farily easy if you are technically proficient. For lots of mod info, look on www.qrz.com.
