NOTES ON SSB RECEPTION
If the voice sounds distorted, slowly rotate
FINE
to bring the
signal into its natural voice tonal range.
An SSB signal produces a fluttering, unintelligible sound
when received in the AM mode. Set the mode switch to
either LSB or USB, and adjust
FINE
. If the voice is still not
intelligible, it might be an SSB signal operating on the other
sideband — try the other SSB mode.
