I would buy a new unit with it. I assume the high

because I can buy a different brand, or I see that some
grants are still available. My question is, why did
uniden stop making ssb units? Is ssb worth looking
around for, or should I skip it and just get an am
unit?

Dunno if anyone else has mentioned this but SSB is
really only used above channel 35.

Why is that?

Sort of a gentleman's agreement, ssb and am don't get along very
well. One will plug the other's receive.

Back in the day of 23 channel radios, we only used channel 16
for ssb.
