That's SSB only and only covers the SSB portion of the band. IF you can find 
one for a cheap price it might be worth it but I wouldn't pay even half of 
the new price. Figure it this way, it sells new for over $200, you can find 
an Icom 706 original usually, which has all HF bands and 6, and 2 meters for 
that matter, for just over $300 if you're patient. Given how rarely 6 is 
open, I really don't think with out a good reason, I'd bother with a 6 meter 
only radio unless you can find it for around $125 at the absolute most and 
that MFJ one, $100. I do see them that cheap now and then, but like I said, 
the price of a decent radio with all the other HF bands in it is so close, 
and really if you want a 6 meter only radio, you'd probably be better off 
with something all mode like the ranger 5450 if you can find one for a good 
price or something like that all mode. Even that, I wouldn't give a lot for 
it. For that matter, the Icom 703 I think has 6 in it and I see them used 
for a decent price all the time, it's fairly new and can get you on the 
other HF bands at about 5-10 watts if you want it so if you want to play on 
other bands you can.
