Good question. Henning DF9IC has measured a couple of mobile
transceivers
claimed '9k6 capable' about 3 years ago, and none was satisfactory.
I've heard of new allmode transceivers (one ICOM model) that works well
with 9k6, that is however >$2000.

In the end you're probably better off with dedicated designs like
the T7F kit by Holger Eckhardt.
