Unfortunately, there seems to be a WAS net seems to meet on 7.188 MHz LSB in the mornings anyway. This totally tears up 7.190 when they are on.Just thought I'd pass along my observations... they have been meeting there for years too.de KX5JT -- Be Yourself @ mail.com! Choose From 200+ Email

Check it in the mid morning (6AM to 8AM) and early evening (4PM to 7PM). This morning I was listening to the West Coast AM group on 3885. They came on between 6AM and about 6:30AM and vacated shortly after 8AM. Then SSB activity started on 3885. So there may be a time we can use 7190 or 7195.

My understanding of SSB reception (after 40 years of hamdom) is that SSB ops are not bothered too much by AM signals unless we splatter or unless they plop down where they can hear our carrier. Notch filters and DSP work wonders in that instance. We, with our comparatively wide receivers

Check me if I am wrong, but I believe the Pro 3 will auto notch up to 3 heterodynes. I have a Pro and it will do that. The best way to deal with interference is just ignore it or turn up the power (not audio) until your sibilance gives them problems. Then nice thing about most SSB signals
