K guys i want to try something here and see if it would ever be possible. I have a cobra 29 LTD classic and im wanting to know if i could ever have Sideband installed it in? I have never seen a 29 with sideband in it but i was wanting to know if it would work. I know i can have extra channels added but i want to know if i could have sideband installed. What you think???

Installing SSB on a Cobra 29?
Way too many things missing from an AM-only radio that are needed for SSB transmit and receive.
Not just a 'conversion' issue, but the block diagram for a SSB transceiver contains whole sections not found (or needed) in AM-only radios. It would be a whole lot like building a radio from scratch.
There was a kit for adding FM to radios that didn't come with it some years back. It added the missing functions to modulate the transmitter, and contained a FM detector chip for the receiver. An SSB conversion would be a lot more complex. Wouldn't just fit on a small "conversion" board like the FM kit.
