OK, I have to ask...I don't see a FAQ for SSB under the mode banner on the
Elecraft site.
So, what are the expectations for this rig as a voice contest radio?
Briefly, it has VOX, Anti-VOX and PTT to activate SSB Tx. It has an
8-band Tx Equalizer. It's capable of ESSB for those who wish to do so.
It has High-Cut and Low-Cut controls to make it easy to adjust receive
selectivity. Manual as well as auto-notch. Denoiser. Optional digital
voice recorder. Adjustable IF clipper for increased talk power under
marginal conditions. Monitoring of Tx audio so you can hear what your
signal will sound like over the air. Isolated soundcard interface so
you can use a PC for voice-mode operation. Front and rear panel
microphone jacks. Switchable mic bias (on/off) to accommodate electret
or other microphones on a per-jack basis.
Etc. The "etc" are always important ;-)
