Many stations transmit voice signals with a
suppressed carrier in the
(SSB), part of the radio transmission
spectrum that lies to the side of the primary
frequency signal. Many amateurs who
operate transmit below 10 Mhz general ly
use the lower side band
MHz, they usually use the
(USB). Commercial utility stations generally
use the USB. A carrier has to be added to
make these signals audible.
