Is this a radio that can be fairly simply converted to cover 11m and if so what is its converted range and finally is it worth bothering.
Thanks in advance to the elmers.

Yes . 1 wire. It will go a little below 1 up to 28mhz

You will however need a ham ticket and a small army of antennas to use all those frequencies LOL!
Is it worth having / acquiring and what would a fair price be..... just in general of course as I can't tell from ebay as they're all over the map.

No AM. But one of the best SSB radios. I do have a link to a small board you can install to get AM. But I wouldn't. If you want AM get an AM rig.
