This is a falacy. My DSP rig does not allow any significant energy in the
opposite sideband.
However, when there is enough low frequency content, it can sound like a
carrier when you tune
through the signal. If there was a carrier, you would also hear it when there
was no modulation,
which is NOT the case. I know -- I have checked my signal with a spectrum
analyzer.
This is the kind of incorrect information that creates bogus complaints and
rules that we don't
need. I suggest that anyone wishing to point fingers get a spectrum analyzer
and look at their
own signals with their compressors cranked up overdriving their amplifiers.
Then talk to me about
4 or 6 kHz being too wide.
