Magnum once made a 10 meter handheld that was pretty cool. You could convert it to 11 meters and If I remember correctly, it even had ssb. Those were the Sam Lewis days, before Stryker was even on the scene.
Like everything else they made that was cool, they were only produced for a very short time.

Oh nice!! This would be the one to have. And with SSB, oh yeah!!
I'd like to have something like this and will keep my eyes and ears open. I'm going to guess that if there was one to be found, they would want serious cash for it.

Yep, just what I thought. A used Magnum 1012 for $1,000.00 on ebay.
I'll keep looking.

I have the President Randy and with the supplied flexible antenna it is great for talking from the drivers seat to the passenger seat. If trying for someone outside the vehicle just hang your head out the window and yell. I have never tried it connected to an external antenna, that would most likely solve the problem.
Actually I talked to another member here, he was using a ssb hand held and external antenna.
Coal City Illinois to Central California, that's not bad for 8 or 10 watts, the band was blown open so its not that surprising but it works.
Bill used to work dx with a ft 817 and a miracle whip and that radio only does 5 watts on ssb.
It's a ssb radio, and while not a dual final export they do work.
While limited by the supplied duck antenna if you screw it to some coax and a full size antenna they can be fun when the band is open.
They used to make ssb handhelds for ham bands like 15 meters, 11 meters and others, I got pictures posted of some the old talkies here somewhere.

Don't know if they are still available, you would have to contact UK vendors to see if there is any stock.
That is the last current SSB handheld I am aware of.
