My dream radio (wish-list) for a GMRS handheld under $150

[plarkinjr]

I have various models of Baofengs, Retevis, RadTels, and Wouxuns.   Each has some features the others don't, but none have all.  I wish someone would make a radio with the features listed below (roughly in order of preference).   If such a radio exists, please let me know.

[_] Chirp programmable
[_] 10+ character customizable channel names (sorry Midland)
[_] No keypad (just a handful of buttons: front panel, programmable sidekeys, etc. for less technical users.)
[_] 24+ memory slots capable of storing GMRS repeater frequencies and split-tones (100+ channel memory slots overall)
[_] Display readable in full sun, with adjustable backlight for night-time.
[_] Dual-Band/Dual-Watch Rx VHF & UHF (for analog fire/safety, HAM, Marine, etc)
[_] "Zones": allowing you to group channels by user need.  (e.g. only GMRS, only HAM, only your town, neighboring towns, etc)
    [_] at least 4 zones, each capable of storing at least 20 channels
    [_] switch zones by one key press
[_] USB-C charging on the battery
[_] Drop-in desk cradle for charging
[_] BNC or SMA antenna connector
[_] IP54 or better rating for dust/water protection
[_] Scanner with 
    [_] scan within zone, or across all memory channels
    [_] temporary channel lockout
[_] 5+ watts Tx output at 462-468 MHz
[_] Channel KNOB (preferably with 16 to 20 clearly marked stops)
[_] Rx AM Air band
[_] NOAA with "SAME" alerting technology
[_] FCC Type Certified for GMRS

Features I don't care about:
[_] GPS (esp. w/ proprietary sharing of that info)
[_] DTMF
[_] Man-Down/Lone-worker function
[_] Broadcast FM radio reception

The Wouxun KG-935 gets close, and I really like it.   However, the 10-key pad isn't really a necessity.  It means the "useful" buttons have to be small in order to fit the space, and they add potential for non-technical user error.  The KG-905G Plus appears to have the button set I want, but it doesn't tick enough of the other boxes.   Any suggestions?
