Is there tuning for SSB that goes between the 1 kHz steps? Seems to me that you'll never be able to get clear voice with 1 kHz steps!

Yes, it has a small fine tuning wheel on the right side just above the SSB switch. I have no trouble clarifying reception if it is transmitting long enough. For the price, you won't get a better receiver ! I love mine, and use it nearly every day.

Yes. The dial on the side of the unit is an analog tuning dial. It allows you to bring in the voice in upper or lower sideband.

Thang:Again thank you for your helpful response. I will now shop for a sub, and hopefully complete my system soon. It is a more difficult task than I first thought.I have the Bose single cube speakers that I plan to use, but I am unable to determine the ohm rating of these speakers. Can you assist me with this. I have been studying the 806 manual and the speaker ohm rating is one entry that needs to be input by me. Hopefully I will be able to get things up and running soon. Thanks.Charles

EK's answer is very close to correct. The -3dB rolloff point is 100kHz. Frequencies lower than this are possible to receive, but sensitivity will become lower as the frequency gets lower.

Go to SETTINGS and select SOUND.In my experience Most channels (cable) sound best when I set the SOUND MODE at DYNAMIC with VOLUME OFFSET AT +4. Also the I put STEADY SOUND, SURROUND and BASS BOOSTER to the ON setting.This works for amazon Prime and other internet channels.Some Cable channels vary from this and you can play with them to find the best setting. Usually I just set BASS BOOSTER to OFF on those channels where the voices are unclear. Your experience may vary, but you're not going to hurt anything by experimenting with the adjustments

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config:SRS TruSurround HD <Off>SRS TruVolume <On>Equalizer Settings <OFF> *important* Base <75>Treble <50>Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.

i sold this sub. incredibly awesome sub. and i kinda had your problem. you have to fine tune the sub with your receiver. distance settings, double bass setting if you have it. basically have your receiver get all the bass to go to the sub and amplify the sub through the receiver as well. if your not using a receiver, then your doing it wrong bro. otherwise just mess around with the settings on BOTH sub and receiver to find the perfect sound.

I would also look at the PL-600. It has SSB and allows adjustments in sensitivity. Good reviews.

Hey david I have the same unit. What you have to do is go to audio and find the hz. Turn the volume up as loud as you normally listen to and one at a time go threw the Hz adjustments. If you would like I can go out to my car and check which settings i have but i also have an amp and subwoofers hooked up. It does not have the simple bass and treble adjustments like factory stereo. This way is more presice and does increment small adjustments to your specific speakers and vehicle. Let me know if it helped!

Did you ever find an alternative to the BB2001? Funny, I just bought the im600 today, and it still had the slip in it for the BB2001. I would like to buy a subwoofer for it though, so let me know :) That goes for anybody reading this, too!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeqDAjB9pGKThe first guy in the video [me] is the one using the MXL 770. The sound editing is weird on my part, the dB were adjusted to fit with the track used (which was different from what I recorded with)

It should not be. Just keep your mic gain at about 50% . Any radio will distort with the mic gain set to high. You can not tell any difference with my audio....but the signal is stronger. You can not run high mic gain with an amp on ssb or AM and expect it not to be distorted.

This radio does indeed tune 518kHz. Punch in 518 on the keypad and then the AM button and you're there. Then turn on the SSB and you'll hear any RTTY transmissions. It has a narrow bandwidth of 4 kHz. It doesn't go any narrower.

Thank all for your responses. The unit is useless for me as I need to know the AVERAGE sound level over a period of time.

do you have the software for the wouxun? I add the freq. and it took it. also set freq in radio to make 5khz steps.

Actually, on further testing, I have observed that Preset 6 *does* work for Slacker and Internet, but without a confirming beep (thought the beeps are present for AM and FM Preset 6, as well as all of the *other* Internet and Slacker presets). I think this almost has to be a firmware error and will contact Audiovox. Perhaps it has something to do with Preset 6 being part of the demo on/off routine.

I havent tried that but i can tell u that SB16 had awsome sound for its price... Like how u can adjust sub and store it separate... Pretty loud and no distortion.. Am currently looking into buying another one once they go on sale... The sub is 100watts hope it answers ur question

Sorry David it's only a receiver, you can only listen (and on SSB you can hear distant HAM radio operators from across the US).- You would need a HAM license to transmit voice (this radio doesn't transmit/as it's just a really good receiver) if you already have your HAM radio license, you should be looking for local HAM fests, for working used HAM radios- I'm just a SW listener at times but I'm sure if you find a local HAM club they would be able to get you hooked up. The test it multiple choice, and I believe like $30- most of the material is online too. Good luck.
