Galaxy 2547 bad audio on ssb
I have a Galaxy 2547 base station that sounds great on AM,but sounds terrible on ssb.
I am running a rm Italy 503 amp as a driver for my yaesu fl-2100b driving 80-100 watts from the rm- 503, into the yaesu,pushing about 650-700 watts out of the yaesu. I have tried lowering the wattage out of the Galaxy into the rm-503,which is a low wattage input amp anyway,and still pushing 80-100 watts into the yaesu,which requires 80-100 watts to drive that amp.
Could an overdriving issue be the culprit? And why would it only effect ssb and not am?
Swr is perfect,using a mfj antenna tuner on an antron 99,so antenna is matched.
What am I doing wrong,or does anyone have a possible answer to this problem?

How does it sound on SSB without the amp’s? Usually what goes in an amp is what comes out. Been years and have gotten rid of most my CB stuff, I think the 503 does around 250 driven by 12 to 20 pep,, my guess is you are overdriving.
