[Elecraft] Muddy SSB

[Timothy A. Raymer]

Ron,

There are some specific mods, both "Elecraft approved" and others, that 
address some of these issues.  KI6WX has a series of mods he has developed 
that address many of these issues.  The best bet is to look at the pages 
that some of our fellow listees have that list all the mods, and review 
some of them.  In addition, there are some pages off of the elecraft home 
page that cover some of this.

I have a few questions that will help us to further identify the problems, 
and how to fix them.  What Mic are you using, and how is is wired in the 
radio?  Which mods for ssb have you put in the radio, or is it stock from 
the time you constructed it?

I will look through what I have here that I saved, and if someone doesn't 
have a better answer in the next few hours, I will send some additional 
information to this message.

Gee, I thought I was the only one that did this!
