Andy,
The spot function puts out a signal in a mode determined by the function switch setting. On CW and AM you'll thus get a carrier to zero beat. On SSB you won't. What you get is an SSB signal to spot. If you talk into the microphone in spot mode you'll hear your voice. But if there's no audio input, there will be no spot signal.
What people usually do in SSB is tune in and zero beat a feedback sound, usually referred to as a "tweets" in the mauals. But to do that you've got to be using a speaker near your microphone so you get the feedback. If you're using headphones, you (mostly) won't get the effect. By the way, make sure you're on the same sideband in receiver and transmitter.
