1. Technical Overview of SSB on CB Frequencies: • Efficiency & Range: SSB (Single Sideband) modulation is more efficient than standard AM because it suppresses the carrier and one of the sidebands, allowing more of the transmitter’s power to be used for the information-carrying signal. This can result in improved range and better signal-to-noise performance.…

Incorporating CH3, AMRRON, MURS & HAM I. Introduction & Purpose • Objective: Provide a structured set of frequency assignments to ensure clear, reliable communications during emergencies while integrating robust doctrinal guidance from CH3 and AMRRON. • Scope: This plan covers primary and backup frequencies for licensed operators (VHF, UHF, HF) and unlicensed users using FRS,…
