Why buy a SSB Radio?Whether your a rag chewer or a dxer a radio with ssb is a lot more fun than just a am/fm radio. You get a lot of bang for your buck when you purchase a radio capable of ssb than just an AM/FM model. Let's start off with what exactly is the ssb mode? It is a refinement of amplitude modulation which uses transmitter power and bandwidth more efficiently. This allows the radio to produce more output power on SSB than AM and FM. Normally SSB is much quieter and allows for better range than AM and FM.
