Have had the radio fo awhile and not really figured the SSB
use on it.
Can someone give a little brief explanation and help in
using the feature.
I read the one paragraph instruction in the manual, and
not sure what sound the ssb broadcast is.
It has a fine tune pot on the side which I have tried and it will tune
stations.

Center the SSB Clarifier control. Tune the 20 Meter Phone bands.
You'll hear ducks quacking. Find a strong one. Turn on SSB mode and
adjust the Clarifier very slowly until you hear natural sounding
voices (as natural as your average Ham gets, anyway). The Clarifier
and the Main Tuning interact, so adjust both if necessary.

You could also try the Aeronautical HF ATCs. Which aren't as
congested:

Go to Page 9 (hit P then 9); enter the freq. and push the side button
that turns the BFO on and off. You can now use the fine tune pot. For
some weird desgn reason you have to be in Page 9 to make the BFO
function. The page should also give you 1kHz resolution when tuning
digitally.

I have the 1103.
