Thanks for all of the suggestions, I will give it another try.

Is it normal for me not to hear anything in SSB until I hit near the
"sweet" spot with the BFO control?

Yes. I normally crank up the volume once I go into SSB mode, so it's
easier to fine tune. As you adjust the knob, you hear the Donald Duck
voice, and then it suddenly sounds normal.
