USING THE G5’s SSB (Single Side Band) FEATURE (8)
SSB enables listening to shortwave signals using the single-sideband mode. This mode is used for a variety of signals including amateur radio and other two-way communications, Morse code, weather- fax transmissions and other encoded signals often referred to as ‘utility’ signals. To use SSB, turn on the SSB circuit by pressing the SSB button. Note that SSB appears in the display (31). Tune to the shortwave frequency of your choice. Use the tuning knob to coarse- tune the SSB signal, then fine-tune with the –FINE+ knob (42). This SSB circuit allows tuning of both upper and lower sideband signals.
