Is this mainly a program listening rig?
How is the SSB on it with no PBT or shift?
I guess you can't even compare it to a Drake R8 huh??
Any opinions?
Thanks
Lucky
The SSB is excellent; the synchronous AM, all 4 options, works great;
as
do the AM and AMN.
Dave
But how can it be that good in SSB with no PBT or shift? Explain..
Lucky
What does PBT or IF shift have to do with tuning SSB? These controls are
for moving the filter response across the passband, and have no effect on
fidelity other than perhaps hurting it off moved too far.
The difference between the R8 and the Lowe is that the Lowe is built
tremendously better and the Sync modes work as well if not better.

What does it have to do with it? There are many SSB stations I would have to
listen to with loads of interference if I didn't have them.
Some I wouldn't be able to continue listening to at all.
Lucky
I would be tempted to think that there is something seriously wrong if
you have to use PBT and shift to be able to listen to SSB stations.
Either your receiver or local noise environment need to be looked at.
The only other option I see is that you are operating your receiver
incorrectly. I have an "older" acquaintance who has a similar problem
but insists on listening to SSB with a 16kHz filter - he needs all the
help he can get since he refuses to use the correct filter(s).
