AM, SSB handheld radio (Magnum 1012 Clone)

Look in my banner. The walkie talkie on the top left is a Cherokee AH-100. It has AM/SSB. I've used it for years.
I have the more common Cherokee AH-27F with every option available & it will cover all the way to 28.305 in the VFO mode.It looks & operates as NEW but it lacks SSB which would be Awesome. The SSB models are Crazy in price so I never purchased one & the AH-27F was given to me by a friend who is now a SK so I keep it since she gave it to me.
 
Anyone have them in stock at all? Or do they have to be ordered from EU?
I only see one place that has any in stock overseas, and they ain't cheap.


I don't know if Magnum is ever going to build any radios anymore.

The AH-100 is definitely pricey. Its more than I want to give for one.

You might see if Scotts Radios has any. A friend of mine bought one from there. I don't see them on his website, so you'd have to email him.

SSB handhelds. You get all excited about it, buy it, you play around with it and realize it's not as much fun as it sounded, then it sits on your shelf for years. One day you're taking a trip to europe and you go, oh that would be fun for the handheld, you take it with you but since you're on vacation you only turn it on for 5 mins before your wife complains and you put it back in the suitcase.

Yep, I think I got rid of mine within 6 months or so. Made a profit so I can't complain. Probably been 20 years or so since I had, maybe longer.

I sometimes wonder why I bought my AM Midland hand held, Haven't turned it on in awhile, guess it is just that OLD FEVER ! LOL
