There is actually a reasonably large demand, and the rumors of a new radio in the near future are great news for the hardcore (crazy?) people like me who want one!You will probably be waiting for a REALLY long time. Demand for a handheld with SSB is limited to a tiny number of hardcore handheld radio fans. There's certainly not enough people that would buy such a product to make it economically feasible for a company to produce and sell it. There is the Albrecht handheld with SSB and that will likely remain the only one available.
