To receive USB the radio must be capable of SSB single sideband or CW code reception. Sometimes called BFO beat frequency oscillator must be on to understand sideband only signals. Onec this mode is enabled, you may have to retune the frequency to make the audio intelligible.

Ok, thanks  :-(  shoulda known !  lol
Guess it'll be that web link for this one then.

Central PA prolly won't get much outta this except some rain, but I was curious to try to tune it in.

However, NN and all our FReepers are doing such an outstanding job with these live threads that they'll likely surprass the SW guys anyway !

For those in the way of this thing, here's hoping it's another hyped-to-death dud and you'll all be right as rain.
Well, metaphorically anyway . . .
