TUNING SSB(SINGLE SIDE BAND)
SSB enables listening to shortwave two way communications
using the SSB mode such as amateur radio, Morse Code, weather-
fax transmissions and other signals often referred to as 'utility'
signals. The internet and your local library are great resources to
learn more.
To experience with SSB, turn on the Satellit and position near a
window if you are in a building with stories above you.
1. Turn on 20-meter Amateur band, by pressing 14150kHz with
the keypad and then pressing the AM button to enter it;
2. Quick press SYNC/SSB/RDS button twice to turn on SSB circuit,
i.e. don't select SYNC. Note SSB appears in the display, then
displays "SSB-USB" or "SSB-LSB";
3. Repeat quick press U/LSB/RDS MODE button to switch
between USB and LSB.
SSB-USB: upper sideband
SSB-LSB: lower sideband
4. SSB fine tuning: quick press down tuning knob to select tuning
speed as FAST/SLOW/FINE-XX(-99~+99)/STOP, then select
FINE –XX, which appears in the display to enter SSB fine tuning
mode. Rotate the tuning knob to set to it's the best position.
Put the sensitivity switch, on the left side of the radio, to the
DX position. Fully extend the antenna and with the tuning knob
