Handheld Aviation Radio With Lots of Presets?

[Will]

What handheld units have lots of preset positions available on them? I
would like to find one where the presets have dedicated buttons that I can
then label. At least six presets would be desirable. I'm trying to avoid
having to program function keys to bring up presets with complex keystrokes.
I want something that will bring up the stations I need most often with a
single button press.

How about something where you twist a knob and it cycles through a variety
of presets (with alpha-numeric descriptions?).

eg Icom A23?

or the Vertex VXA-210 Pilot...

I've got one of these, and it works great. I've put alpha labels on
the channels so I can tell at a glance what station is selected.

I have an old Icom A-21 brick that has 10? presets You can call them up
one by one or cycle through them by turning the tuning knob.
