SINGLE SIDE BAND (SSB) RECEPTION – SW / MW / LW
SSB is very popular among ham and business radio users because of its efficiency.
Amateurs who use SSB and transmit below 10MHz generally use the lower side band (LSB),
while amateur and commercial stations transmitting above 10MHz generally use the upper
side band (USB). Your ATS-909X2J is capable of receiving all USB and LSB transmissions.
To receive SSB stations:
1. Turn on the radio using the Power button
2. Rotate the AM RF Gain jog dial
3. Select the SW, MW, or LW band by pressing the corresponding button.
4. Tune to an SSB station in accordance with earlier instructions.
5. As soon as you have tuned to an SSB station (you will not be able to clearly hear any
speech), switch to SSB reception by pressing the SSB button
between AM, USB and LSB. The SSB indicator
currently selected.
6. After selecting the correct mode, use the STEP button
then use the Rotary Tuning knob
NOTE
The minimum tuning step is set to 20Hz by default, but it can be changed to 10Hz in the
menu. Refer to the next section for more information on setting the SSB tuning step.
