BASIC COMMUNICATING

SSB TRANSMISSION

SSB is now the most commonly-used mode on the HF Amateur bands. Compared with other voice modes, SSB requires a narrow bandwidth for communications. SSB also allows long distance communication with minimum transmit power. These reasons, combined with the fact that modern Amateur transceivers deliver reasonably good audio quality, make SSB the mode that most prefer on HF.

Refer, if necessary, to “OPERATING BASICS” beginning on page 13 for receiving details.

1Select the operating frequency.

2Press [LSB/USB] to select either upper or lower sideband mode.

•“LSB” or “USB” appears to show which sideband is selected.

3Press [MIC] to activate the Microphone Gain Setting function.

• The current gain level appears

4Press and hold down Mic [PTT], or press [SEND].

•“RX” disappears and “TX” appears.

•Refer to “VOX” {page 31} for information on automatic TX/RX switching.

5Speak into the microphone and adjust the MULTI/CH control so that the ALC meter reflects according to your voice level.

•Speak in a normal tone and level of voice. Speaking too close to the microphone, or too loudly, may increase distortion and reduce intelligibility.

•You may want to use the Speech Processor. Refer to “SPEECH PROCESSOR” {page 32} for details.

6Release Mic [PTT], or press [SEND] again, to return to the receive mode.

• “TX” disappears and “RX” appears.

7Press [MIC] again to quit the Microphone Gain Setting function.

Refer to “COMMUNICATING AIDS” beginning on
