Intek M-490 Plus; my rig

Just been up the loft to get my rig, was thinking about going mobile so went to see what rig I had up there.

Yeah, it's an Intek M-490 Plus, doesn't seem to have SSB on it though, I bought the rig new in about 2005, and its been up the loft for the last 5 or 6 years +.

Was just wondering, would it be worth getting an antenna and accesories for this rig and go mobile static, or would it be better to get a rig with the SSB feature on, any thoughts guys?

Thanks.

Hello Paul,

If you are wanting to do things like hill-top dxing, then I would get an ssb radio, as a majority of people use this mode when dxing on 11m. Also, more operators are using ssb on mid-block nowadays, due to it been legalised last year. Having ssb would help you to make the most out of the hobby. :)

You can pick up modern multimode radios like the Anyone 5555/Superstar 6900, new and used for reasonable money.These radios would cover all your needs on cb/11m. Maybe sell the Intek, to offset the cost of buying a multimode.
