GETTING STARTED WITH SINGLE SIDEBAND (SSB); MARITIME & AERONAUTICAL WEATHER AND COM-

MUNICATION FREQUENCIES; HAM RADIO COMMUNICAATION FREQUENCIES; TIME SIGNALS

High end shortwave radios, such as the Grundig YB400PE, have

a feature called SSB, a highly efficient way of electronically

processing transmitted and received signals for two-way commu-

nication. Examples of this are amateur radio (hams), maritime, and

aeronautical communication. Either upper side band (USB) or

lower side band (LSB) can be used.

Receiving SSB signals is not always easy. Since this is two-way

communication, transmissions are often very short and sporadic.

Also, most two-way communication uses relatively low power, 50

to 1000 watts. The amateur radio operators are easiest to find;

the others can be very difficult. Signals are also affected by the

eleven year sunspot cycle. Signals will be poor through 1996 then

the signals will get continually better until peaking in 2002 when

reception will be excellent. Overall, very good reception can be

expected from about 1998-2005.

Finding SSB signals can be like seeking a “needle in a haystack”,

so be patient! The easiest place to find SSB communication is at

night in the amateur band shown below at 3700-4000 KHz.

HOW TO TURN THE SSB FEATURE ON

1. Slide the SSB switch (right side of radio) to the ON

position.

2. Use the STEP button to select 1 KHz tuning steps.

“STEP 1” will display in the lower right of the display.

3. Put the FINE TUNING control knob (right side of the

radio) in its center position.

4. Use the FIND TUNING control knob to fine tune

signals.
