If the radio has a gain control, you might want to turn it down for SSB

Not the best radio for SSB

I have this radio and have been really happy with it. I did read in
Passport that it's SSB leave much to be desired. I've been recently
trying to use it, and I've had more luck. The best I've got is
transmissions but they are so far in the background and overcome by
noise that it's worthless.

Could it be my area? I'm in Southwestern Ontario. Is there such a
thing as a 'cheap' radio for good SSB operation?

Thanks,
