[TenTec] SSB recieve audio?

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

Yes, one can move the oscillators for USB and LSB a bit further up the slope 
into the passband and realize a bit more low end response for a bigger and 
warmer sound.  Careful however, carrier suppression will suffer several dB 
and frequency readout errors will abound.
