Is this for a marine application? If not I think you can just pull
then from the NOAA website.

I never have liked ssb.For one thing,there isn't anything on ssb worth
listening to.Unless you want to know how to fry eggs in a
skillet.Another thing,ssb sounds "muddy'',,, not worth the time and
effort to tune in ssb.Too Much Money For The Amount Of Bread!

That makes absolutely no sense. Have you ever played with a real
radio? SSB can be incredibly clear and quiet.

I agree. A good radio with sufficiently fine tuning can make ssb
transmissions crystal clear. For a real aural treat catch one of the
nets that sends in AM.

Use the slow AGC selection on the radio if it has one to quiet the
noise between the words people speak on sideband.

Careful main tuning (VFO), passband tuning and filter selection will
cause the sound quality to be very good and not muddy.

It ain't a Real radio if it ain't got a BFO.
