Special Functions on AM

SSB (Single Side Band) Reception on SW

... is an additional function to "normal" radio reception.

• Switch the radio on and select a SW amateur band (SSB

stations are mainly broadcasted on these bands).

• Set the TONE sw itc h (2 6) t o 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 TUNING

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 or 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).
