which would you get?

Not sure if want to get a radio i found that has am and ssb, or a radio that covers 10 and 11 meter. I have my technican license, so could use the 10 meter some. but dont know if thatd be worth more than ssb. Not sure how busy ssb is in my area (southern Indiana) What would you guys do?? both radios are close in price

get a rci 2950 10,11,12 meter and am,fm,ssb,cw

I agree and then when you get into ypour General license you will have the 12 meters to use on the RCI DX models

If that 10/11 meter radio does not have SSB then you can consider it virtually worthless on 10 meters.

You passed the tech, Gen is almost as easy.

Go to QRZ.com and take the practice tests. In short time you will be able to pass your test and get an entry level HF rig.

You can get a nice used HF rig for less than a new RCI. For a general coverage HF rig, I recommend a Kenwood TS430. A great old rig that has very good RX and can be had on ebay for less than 300$. Mine went for about 260$ with all band TX and some good mods. I was sad to see it go.
