One popular SSB generation scheme used by many manufacturers was to employ a 7.8 MHz Crystal Filter and the carrier frequency was generated at 7.8025 MHz which typically gives an Lower Sideband output when used in an additive mixer stage. Typical frequencies for the banks of crystals were in the 11 MHz range for the bank of six and in the 7 to 8 MHz range for the bank of four. Interestingly the first three crystals in the bank of four are separated by 10 kHz but the last channel is 20 kHz. Then the second crystal in the bank of six is mixed in succession with the four crystals to give channels 5 to 8. The bandswitch is arranged so that the first crystal in the bank of six is mixed with the four crystals in succession so that at initiation that would give channels 1 to 4. The typical crystal synthesizers uses two banks of crystals arranged in a bank of four and bank of six arrays. With crystals that raised the possibly to utilize commonly available inexpensive Computer Crystals to move the frequency to 10 Meters.
After digesting those inputs I chose to look at the 23 Channel units since many of these radios use Crystal Synthesizers.
I received many helpful inputs and suggestions. Untitled Document Conversion of SSB CB Radios to 10 Meter QRP OperationĮarly in 2009 I posted an inquiry on the QRP-L Reflector about any and all that may have converted SSB CB Radios to 10 Meters.
