20 HOW TO OPERATE SINGLE SIDEBAND MODE (SSB)
To use the Maestro in SSB mode, select either USB or LSB in the Slice Receiver Menu. This brings
up the SSB receive filter presets and shows the SSB-specific controls in the transmit panel.
Conventional USB or LSB settings are automatically selected for each band when the band selection
panel is used.
In SSB modes, the Slice carrier indicator line will be located to the left of the receiver passband for
USB and to the right for LSB. It shows exactly the location of your transmitted SSB suppressed
carrier frequency. If the Slice is the Active Slice, the carrier indicator line will be displayed in yellow.
If the other Slice is active, it will be displayed with a red carrier indicator.
20.1 HOW TO SELECT THE SSB RX FILTER BANDWIDTH
Standard SSB receiver filter bandwidths from 1.6K to 6.0K can be selected from the Slice Receiver
Menu. Custom bandwidths can be adjusted by use of the High/Low Shift/Width multi-function
control. When the control is in High/Low mode, adjusting the inner knob moves the location of the
lower frequency margin of the filter while adjusting the outer knob moves the location of the
higher frequency margin. Pop-up displays provide detailed information as the adjustments are
made.
20.2 SELECTING RX FILTER FAVORITES
A favorites function allows the selection of the most commonly used filter bandwidths and provides
a convenient way to toggle between these filters. To select a favorite, press and hold the square
containing the favorite filter. A small triangle will be added to the filter square. Do this for as many
favorites as desired.
A short press of the BW Select knob will cycle through the filters chosen as favorites.
