SSB Question?

[Porch Boy]

Can you use a kicker for talkin sideband that doesn't have a SSB delay? Huh? Huh?

[Night Crawler]

Sure if you want to beat the crap out of the relay :D

[Porch Boy]

I'll take that as a NO. thanks

[TheTeZ]

yeah, youll fry the switch, and it wont kick on when you talk.

You could modify the amplifier by adding a capacitor in line with the relay, but then when you talk on AM it won't switch to receive as quickly.

You can go a step further than this by putting a switch in series with one of the cap legs, and label this switch "AM/SSB".

What size capacitor would you need inline with the relay in order to do this? I've got an amp without SSB delay, and am curious if the switched capacitor install is something I could do myself or something I would need to send in and have done.

Sorry to hijack a bit. Cheers.
