So you admit you don't know how to use said radio?

Okay, again I'm getting (as a gift if I want it) a Icom M-700 SSB radio.
Believe it or not, I don't just accept an expensive gift just because it's
"expensive."
This summer we have to trips planned and there will be plenty of daysails,
but
not the kind of cruising associated with an SSB requirement. My question
is: Is
this still a worthwhile radio to have on board? Can I chat with people
far-off
for the sake of chatting, as in Ham or CB SSB?
I already have the VHF and also a new 10 meter with 11 meter conversion
aboard.


Thanks for any help!
