Successful HF communications depend on compatibility between the
airborne and the ground station. It is extremely important that the oper-
ator select the same operating mode on the HF that the ground station
the operator wish to contact will be using. The USB mode is the most
popular operating mode for airborne HF ssb communications and
should normally be tried first unless it is known that the ground station is
operating in another mode.
