What frequencies are SSB?

What frequencies are SSB?

A marine SSB system operates on marine radio spectrums called shortwave, medium frequency and high frequency — 2 MHz-26 MHz. This radio spectrum is shared with hundreds of other radio users including shortwave broadcasts, Ham radio, FEMA, the American Red Cross, and long-range aircraft.

How do I tune my SSB radio?

To tune in an SSB signal, follow these steps:

1. Set your rig to receive SSB signals. You may have to choose LSB or USB.
2. Select the widest SSB filter.
3. Adjust the tuning dial until you hear the SSB frequency.
4. Continue to tune until the voice sounds natural.

What frequency does CB radio use?

The Citizens Band Radio Service (CBRS) is a private, two-way, short-distance voice communications service for personal or business activities of the general public. It also may be used for voice paging. It is authorized 40 channels between 26.965 MHz and 27.405 MHz.

How far can you talk on SSB?

Most SSB CB activity is for long distance transmissions. DX is a hobby that is very common with users of SSB CB radios but is illegal. The FCC has set a distance limit of 155 miles for the CB service. However, you may be able to use a SSB CB radio to call for help where other AM CB radios will not reach out.

Which is the suppressed carrier frequency on SSB?

The actual transmitted RF frequencies are the indicated suppressed carrier frequency (i.e. “dial frequency”) plus the audio tone frequencies (USB) -or- the suppressed carrier frequency minus the audio tone frequencies (LSB).

How does SSB radio transmission shift radio frequencies?

SSB radio transmission can be through of as a frequency translator that shifts audio frequencies to radio frequencies (RF) while retaining their relative spacing. At the receiver, the radio frequencies are shifted back down to audio.

Where can I find a list of SSB frequencies?

This is a basic list for SSB transmissions. Please search the Internet for frequencies available near where you live.

Which is the universal standard for HF / SSB?

USB is the universal standard for HF/SSB operation with commercial/marine/aviation/military radios on all frequencies. Only ham equipment normally offers LSB operation. Audio spectrum and “waterfall” displays read “right-side up”; i.e. a higher RF frequency shows as a higher audio frequency.
