SSB (Single Side Band) Reception on SW
... is an additional function to "normal" radio reception.
•
Switch the radio o n and select a SW amateur band (SSB
stations are mainly broadcasted on these bands).
•
Set the TONE switch (26) to SPEECH.
•
Use the TUNE △ ▽buttons (19) to slowly scan the band /
step by step for SSB stations.
When doing this, please note that the carrier is suppressed on SSB
broadcasts.
This means that reception is only possible when the trans-
mitter is actually broadcasting a programme (mostly in
speech). During pauses, no tuning is possible. The TUNIN G
indication is of great help when searching SSB stations.
The TUNING indication deflects in the rhythm of the speech
(modulation) when an SSB station is received.
•
As soon as a station is found - the speech is still unintel-
ligible - select the lower o r upper side band with the
stepping button LSB/USB (22).
Tune to best intelligibility with the FINE TUNING control (12).
If you wish to terminate SSB reception, do not forget to
switch back to "normal" AM radio reception
•
Repeatedly press the LSB/USB button until the LSB/USB
indication disappears.
Interferences
•
If there are interferences on the AM (MW, LW, SW)
bands, you can optimize reception with the FINE TUNING
control (12).
