Re: SSB Audio

 

Both.? I have listened on a couple different radios I have and have seen the signal on the waterfall on those radios.? I have also gotten a report back from another Ham who said there was to much RFI(noise) that he could hear me but it was so noisy.? When I key the mic in SSB the signal(on my other radios looks good but when I apply any audio the signal spreads out across both sides of the carrier(which isn't there for SSB) but looks almost the same as transmitting on AM.? Which again when I switch over to transmit in AM it sounds good.? The distortion sounds (I know not technical) like when you are tuning in a signal and you go from the high pitch past the good signal to the lower pitch.? I have run it through a manual tuner Drake RC-4 and through an automatic antenna tuner.? It is also the same if I run it into a dummy load or into an antenna.? I have read through the manuals and have watched some videos on YouTube and seem to be doing everything correctly.? ?Again, I'm hoping it is something simple that I'm missing.? Thanks for the help.

Mark, when you say you're distorted on SSB, is that your monitoring on another receiver or are others saying that your signal sounds distorted?

I am new to collecting Drake radios but so far love the radios.? I have a R-4C & T-4xc(combo) and I also have a TR-4.? I am having the same issues with both so I am obviously doing something wrong.? Receiving is working fine on the C-Line and the TR-4.? I can also tune both of them as per manuals.? They are both putting out power on all bands.? CW seems to work fine and AM is clear when transmitting but on both when on SSB the signal is distorted and a lot of RFI.? I have tried the Heil AD-1-C with the Pro-7 Headphones and also a Shure SM7B microphone.? Then I talked to one of the engineers at Heil and I purchased the CC-1-C cable and the Gold Elite Vintage microphone and have the same issues.? What am I missing and where should I start?? Thanks for the help and look forward to hearing some things I should try.
