No...the Cobra 29's are all AM only radios. SSB radios are Cobra 148 GTL, Uniden Grant, Cobra 140, Galaxy 949, Galaxy 959, Galaxy 979, the new Uniden 980, Uniden PC 122, Uniden PC 244.....all of these are mobile SSB radios. But they can be made into a base if you can provide a power supply.

Base SSB radios...Cobra 2000, Cobra 142, Cobra 139XLR, Uniden Washington, Galaxy 2517....just to name a few...again though these are expensive radios, mainly due to the collectors driving up the prices, so prepare to pay. (might be cheaper just doing a mobile as a base)

Now keep in mind a SSB is not mandatory for a base....if you just wanted to run AM only a Cobra 29 would work....but if you're wanting to spend a little extra time talking to folks in areas where it's not so noisy and you can really utilize your transmitters power, SSB is the way to go.

My 2 cents.

Keep in mind that a base rig is little more than a mobile board and a power supply in a big box, there's little reason to not go with a modern mobile rig and a power supply.

In fact, if you want to go higher power, then you'll need to get a power supply anyway. A "tweak and peak" will probably cause the radio to draw more power than the internal supply can deliver.
