Question 69

When selecting an SSB transmitting frequency, what minimum separation should be used to minimize interference to stations on adjacent frequencies?

  1. 5 Hz to 50 Hz
  2. 150 Hz to 500 Hz
  3. 2 kHz to 3 kHzCorrect answer
  4. 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.
