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.
