I've used it to listen to radio amateurs, military and other stations just fine -- its bandwidth is too wide for serious communications work. As to how to use it: To select SSB, you use the FM - FM Stereo/ SSB - AM switch on the right side, and fine tune with the clarify control, also on the right side. Be sure to start out with the clarify thumbwheel in the center position (there's a notch that you can feel when it's centered). The tuning LED turns red to let you know that SSB is selected. You push in on the tuning knob (left side) to change from the normal 5 kHz to 1 kHz tuning steps. Northe N6KO |
