SSB (USB/LSB) is a different mode of transmission like a AM/FM radio
but with different characteristics. SSB Has no Carrier. Alot of people
consider USB/LSB different channels, but they are wrong. SSB radios
use the same channels as AM, a kc difference +/-, Just a different
mode. So if you get a 40 Channel AM/SSB radio, You get a 40 Channel
AM/SSB radio! Not 120 Channel....

I'm looking for a new cd (that's in a different thread) but
I forgot to ask... I've never owned an SSB unit. What exactly
will an ssb unit do for me? Does that just give you more channels?
