When selecting an SSB transmitting frequency, what minimum separation should be used to minimize interference to stations on adjacent frequencies?
5 Hz to 50 Hz
150 Hz to 500 Hz
2 kHz to 3 kHz✓Correct answer
Approximately 6 kHz
Explanation
An SSB voice signal is about 2.4 to 3 kHz wide, so stations space themselves by roughly one signal width. Less than that puts your sidebands inside the neighboring station's passband; much more wastes crowded band space.
