I just purchased a Eton E5 radio with SSB. When I switch to SSB mode,
I can never hear anything. What am I doing wrong? Should I be
listening only to specific frequencies?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Arthur
AD,
If the Eton E5 works like most AM/SSB Radios :

1 - Tune in a strong 'local' AM/MW/BCB Radio Station
in the AM Mode and switch to SSB Mode [Button # 8]
and the SSB Icon will show in the LCD Screen.
- - - Or the 5 MHz or 10 MHz WWV Time Signal in
the Shortwave Radio Band.
2 - Use the Fine-Tuning Knob (Wheel) on the Side
to Tune in the Station {Clarify the Sound}. You may
fine one or two points that the Sound 'sounds' OK.
Most likely if this does not work : Then the SSB
feature is not working in your Radio
Read Pages 18 & 19 in the Manual.
