-	SSB, or single sideband, is a mode of transmission where the carrier and one sideband is suppressed; only one sideband remains. This is the mode used most frequently by [[amateur radio]] operators, and thus, has also become somewhat of a standard for pirates. The [[Emission_Designator#Emission_Designators\|emission designators]] used for SSB include '''J3E''' for ''true'' single side band (with no carrier), '''~~H3E~~''' for single side band with reduced carrier and '''~~R3E~~''' for single side band with full carrier. H3E and R3E are sometimes called "backward compatible SSB" since a SSB signal with carrier included can be tuned on a regular AM receiver without a beat frequency oscillator (BFO).	+	SSB, or single sideband, is a mode of transmission where the carrier and one sideband is suppressed; only one sideband remains.

	The primary advantage is efficiency. At least one half of the power of an [[AM]] transmitter goes into producing the carrier, which carries no information.

	The main disadvantage of SSB is that since no carrier is present, correct tuning of the station is critical. Any tuning error will result in all of the audio tones being off by the amount of the error. This is acceptable for speech, but in the case of music, results in extremely unpleasant audio.
