619,

Never tried on on SSB, so I can't give you an honest evaluation. What mods are you interested in?

I HAVE 4 FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE 296 AND USE THEM ON SIDE BAND ALL THE TIME AND THEY SOUND GOOD AND THE SIGNAL DOES NOT FLOAT ON THE ONES THEY HAVE.THEY ARE WORTH A TRY.

619,

The 2950DX is probably your best bet for affordable sideband operation. If you plan on doing a lot of SSB talking, stay away from the Galaxy radios.

THE TR-296 IS THE SAME RADIO AS THE 148-GTL OR THE GRANT-XL
