Default Re: Superstar 6900N V6 - Fault with SSB mode

Yes, actually one of the chaps on there tonight who I happen to know is over the age of 70, happened to mention to the chap that wondered why his linear amplifier made the sound distorted and clipped on AM, that did he remember when everyone had AM rigs in their cars back in the old days and you pulled up behind the person you'd been talking to for an 'eye-ball' (meet up, in English), that the sound would go really distorted and clipped. What was really funny was that the other chap said that he'd never noticed this happen, and what the older chap hadn't taken into account was that the other (younger) chap didn't remember the early days of AM and was thinking of just FM. I resisted the temptation to jump in and say that it just applied to AM. A couple of them are still on there now talking about motorcycles - a lot of them that are on round here are bikers and ex-bikers.
