How is the SSB on it with no PBT or shift?

Those are both bells and whistles, very uncommon even thirty years ago,
and only slowly moving into more common appearance, and towards lower
priced equipment.

Good SSB means good stability, good selectivity (sufficiently narrow,
and sharp skirts) and a product detector. If it's got that, then it's
good for SSB.

The other things may help under some conditions, but people have lived
without them.

I guess you can't even compare
it to a Drake R8 huh??
Any opinions?

Thanks

Ok guys thank you. I use the PBT to get the tone and any little drop of
interference to my liking. I'll reevaluate my use of it.
