Rob,
I beg to differ with you...and notice that this is a private reply. I
have no wish to start a great debate. I believe occupying 6 khz of
bandwidth when three is sufficient to transfer the info is a waste.
Having said that, I appreciate the quest for quality and the bottom line
is, it probably makes no difference in the overall availabilty of
spectrum for ham use, so go to it. Of course if I follow my own line of
reasoning SSb is not necessary either...any number of digital modes,
including CW will transfer the info. I gave up SSB on the hf bands long
ago because the language and other foolishness going on were offensive
to me. I guess that should disqualify me from making any comments
about the mode anyhow. Feel free to ignore them. :-D .

This same situation certainly exists concerning enhanced SSB audio. I
am certain the cranks who bash it have never heard a decent sounding
station on a rx with a freq. response of say, 20 hz to 6 Khz and a
similarly adequate speaker. I bet after one week of decent audio
they would all find traditional utility grade ssb unuseable.
