Some short wave stations broadcast Morse code for shipping using
continuous waves (CW). Voice signals, for example amateur radio, is
normally broadcast on the single side band (SSB).

Select the SW waveband using the Band button.

Set the SSB On/Off switch on the right hand side of the receiver to
'ON'. The Tune/SSB LED changes to light up red.

Slowly turn the 'SSB Fine Tuning' dial on the right hand of the
receiver until you achieve a clear reception. If an SSB station is
received, the 'Tune/SSB' LED lights up orange.

Note: For fine tuning, the Fine Tuning Dial can also be pressed.
