True enough...however I would still consider that "rare" from the
perspective of someone interested in scanning, and it is true that most
VHF/UHF scanners don't offer SSB. Hams that operate those bands on SSB
generally have a different class of rig altogether. I often monitor the SSB
sub-band on 2m with a communications receiver and an outdoor 2m antenna
mounted above the house, and I've never heard a thing...I consider that
rare. YMMV.

SSB is rarely, if
ever, used on VHF/UHF, so typical VHF/UHF scanners have only AM/FM/WFM

I use SSB on 2m (the low 144's) and 70cm (around 430.000), as do a lot of
hams.
