well as ssb transmissions for ham and utility stations. which of the
many available would you people recommend please thanks Rikk PS, at

Asking on topic questions is encouraged.

Feel free to ask more of them. No question is dumb.

Check out the handy dandy portable feature comparison chart at the
Universal web site. It compares 17 radios of 4 different brands. Your
SSB requirement cuts the 17 down to 11.
