The Better "Idea" Gets Better !

DSB and Suppress {Reduced} Carrier has many of the
Advantages of SSB : Plus the better Sound Quality of
AM Radio.

- It's easy to generate with DSP and sort of in between
- SSB and AM.

YES - PLus any current AM Radio or SSB Receiver can
also receive DSB Transmissions. Backward compatible
with AM Radios and SSB Receivers.

- It's basicly USB and LSB at the same time.

- YES - WWV/WWVH uses DSB while CHU uses USB.

WWV/WWVH uses DSB* on 2.5 MHz; 5&10&15&20 MHz

* Double Side-Band Amplitude Modulation [DSB-AM]
Most times the AM-SYNC function on my GS800-M
Radio enhances the WWV Signal's Audio and does
improve it's Listenability.

CHU uses USB* on 3330 kHz; 7850 kHz & 14670 kHz

* Upper-Side-Band [USB] The CHU Time Signal is AM;
with the LSB suppressed (Transmission Type H3E)
