When receiving SSB signais, adjust the FINE TUNE knob carefully and fix it at such a position where
the incoming signal сап be heard most clearly. Because of the characteristics of an SSB signal, it is
extremely important to adjust this control. With improper FINE TUNING adjustment, the signal will
not be intelligible. The sound will be distorted. SSB tuning will become easy as you acquaint
yourself with the operation of this control. After adjusting it to clarify once, no adjustment is needed
if you stay on the same mode and channel, receiving the same station.
