Re: [digitalradio] Upper Sideband as International Standard

John and group, Also, the one advantage that LSB has is that it tunes up toward higher and low toward lower the way that many of us tend to think things should work in a linear fashion:) But it also reverses the injected tones so that the tone with the higher frequency is transmitted as a lower

Everything Peter says about BPSK operation is sideband independent except his last point, which is a human limitation. Application software could mitigate this if desired, e.g. by providing QSY up and QSY down controls that take sideband into account. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digital

The reason that LSB historically has been used for RTTY was that the equipment in the early days had difficulty dealing with FSK. On the demodulator side you had to choose frequencies that would not produce harmonics to fool the demodulator. Back then the frequency shift was 850Hz, and it wa

Some thoughts on the subject of Upper Sideband as International Standard. Although either LSB or USB can be used, there are several reasons USB has evolved as the ham standard for various digital modes and the defacto standard for international HF comms. USB is the "natural" polarity of the freq
