Does anyone still use SSB? I was looking into buying a Stryker 995HP just because it has SSB. I can remember back in the day my father talking skip from the car while sitting atop a rather high foot hill of the Appalachians in West Virginia. I have talked to a couple friends and we all drive trucks and always seem to be just outside of CB range and I thought this would be a better way of shooting the breeze at night while waiting for the place to open and empty us out in the morning. One of my buddies brought up the idea of using SSB while moving down the road and I told him I didn't think it was really all that possible because you have to use a clarifier control knob. I went into telling him how you go about tuning in voices and so forth.
Did I give him bogus info? Can you be running down the road nowadays using SSB? Just asking since this radio goes for about $350.00.
