To bad it doesn't have SSB.


Cheap radios with SSB, but no AGC on/off, big tuning steps, and no RF
gain control are a bad joke. They will pick up a little SSB, but not to
any great advantage over the AM, beyond rudimentarily being able to pick
out a few words. They are useless for music, for example.
