Just saw them go from DSB-AM to USB-AM to LSB-AM then back to DSB-AM

Yeah, I noticed this a few times too. I thought there might be some sort of weird selective fading or cancellation of one sideband going on in the ionosphere so I looked at other SDRs but saw the same thing happening there too, so it must have been coming from the transmitter.

Anyway, this just means that (I assume) they have independent control of the individual sidebands, so the transmitted signal is a summation of a carrier + LSB + USB. Which can be handy to have, I suppose. Unless you have a spectrum display you would never know by just by listening to the audio.

Not going to argue over a few hz.  :P



I got the frequency for the thread title from a GPS-locked kiwi SDR. (I didn't use the readout on my portable, which didn't quite agree). I then checked that kiwi against another GPS-locked kiwi and the two kiwis were within 1 Hz, which is expected. You might want to check your RX against CHU.
