Learn how to convert a standard AM radio into an SSB receiver using a simple BFO circuit. Step-by-step guide to receiving single sideband signals on your homebrew or vintage radio.
Tag: SSB
Explore SSB (single-sideband) amateur radio on DXR Electronics Bits, including microphone compressors, speech processors, transmit-audio optimization, and DIY SSB transceiver projects. Learn SSB modulation principles, audio chain design, and practical techniques to enhance clarity and effective radiated talk power in HF communication systems.
Microphone Audio Compressor in Single Sideband Radio
This microphone audio compressor for SSB radio combines a low-noise preamplifier with automatic gain control to maintain consistent speech levels. It boosts weak audio and limits peaks, improving average modulation and clarity without distortion, making transmissions more intelligible, especially in low-power HF setups.
Can You Use MXR Dyna Compressor for SSB Radio?
This article explains why the MXR Dyna Comp, a guitar compressor pedal, is not suitable for SSB amateur radio use despite being a compressor.
It points out key issues like impedance mismatch, since guitar pedals expect high-impedance inputs unlike microphone or line-level signals used in transceivers. It also highlights that the pedal’s frequency response and controls are designed for musical audio, not narrowband voice signals used in SSB.

Belgaum net in 7050 khz Monitored in my GEK 2X HF Transceiver at my krishnagiri qth. The Belgaum Net on 7.050 MHz is one of the popular morning HF amateur radio nets in India, operating alongside other well-known nets like the Charminar Net on 7.080 MHz. These nets typically run during the early morning […]
