Hi, I'm new here so don't flame me too bad..

I was looking at sideband radios on ebay and, in addition to SSB radios,
I see SBE. So, now I'm curious as to what the difference is..

Many thanks,

Johnget in touch with me at about the SBE Console II and Siltronix VFO's. I have some data that might help you make up your mind. The SBE is a definite 4 watt********* with 100% clear modulation on ithem. I have two of them. ONly have one set up with a VFO but I don't usually work the funny channels because there is enough on sideband 1-40 to take care of me. I know that the breaking of the law is there but I figure as long as I am not running a linear and relying on a danged good homemade antenna, coax the correct length, the feed to the antenna correct, SWR'rs down at almost 1:1.1 on all channels I can do bunches of stuff with a 2 element quad horizontal fed. ANTENNA, ANTENNA, ANTENNA, ANTENNA, ANTENNA, IS THE KEY TO THE OPERATION then modulation then watts out. A good ceramic mic will, when matched to the CB/ham transceiver will do as much as those D104's with the 9volt battery in them. Forget the echo, now the roger beep is ok on ssb because if a person has his mic keyed but not tlaking therewill not be a signal coming in. ONly when modulation does the S-meter on your radio work. Even the wattmeter in the CBer who is running SB will show nil when the key is keyed down. Voice activation is the deal. CAn't explain it correctly but this is pretty close to what it is all about. Get in touch with me though....
