Hi all

I have an Eton E5 SW radio, I love listening to broadcasts from all over the world, but I've had this radio for a few years now... and there is one problem. I still have no clue how to work the SSB function.

I've read the manual and looked some stuff up online, but whenever I try to use SSB all I get is a high pitched squeal. I see videos of people using an E5 on SSB and they're getting clear signals that aren't distorted- when I use my SSB button the station comes in all muffled sounding and even with careful tuning I can never get it to sound good.

What is the point of SSB, when should I use it, how do I use it?

Thanks for any help.
