Bob -
You have to look at the two red lights above the SIDEBAND switch. When
the "wrong" light is lit, you have to turn the SIDEBAND switch to
correct it. This is why the SIDEBAND switch doesn't SAY "USB" and "LSB".
If the audio is distorted on one sideband and not the other, the 9.000
MHz Carrier Oscillator is possibly off frequency. Another less likely
possibility is that some TR-3 "soupcan" (named for the soldered
tin-plate can) filters are going bad.

Does anyone know is it normal for a Drake TR-3 to go into USB when switched to
40 meters.
All of the other sidebands are correct except for 40 meters and I have to put
the SIDEBAND SW into X in order to copy LSB on 40
meters, otherwise it goes to USB and is just garbled rx.
But putting it in X makes for a much narrower bandwidth and the audio is
distorted sounding although readable.
