52. your receiver can greatly reduce the severe audio distortion that can occur due to signal fading The detector also permits selectable tuning to either the upper or lower sideband portion of an AM signal Since most all AM LW MW and SW broadcasting generally uses double sideband transmission detection of either of the two sidebands results in full reception of the transmitted information The selectable sideband tuning and detection not only aids reception by permitting tuning to the stronger or less distorted sideband but also permits rejection of the sideband nearer to the interfering signal s For Example CARRIER LSB USB Select LSB to receive this side only Interference from adjacent station GETTING STARTED cont d The synchronous detector will lock to the strongest signal that is within the IF passband when it is activated Most of the time the strongest signal will be the carrier of the desired signal First be sure the main tuning is set to within 1 kHz of the desired station s transmitting frequency Press the AM SYNC button to activate synchronous operation If adjacent channel interference or any other undesired signal is sufficiently strong the synchronous detector may lock to it instead In that case press the AM SYNC button again to turn the synchronous detector off and repeat the tuning process For severe cases of fading set the audio bandwidth to 4 kHz If interference is present press the SSB USBLSB
