G2A06
Which of the following is an advantage of using single sideband, as compared to other analog voice modes on the HF amateur bands?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. Less bandwidth used and greater power efficiency
SSB uses less bandwidth than AM and puts all its power into one sideband with no carrier, making it more power efficient. It is not high fidelity or immune to noise.
Tip: SSB: narrow and efficient.
