1.13 ISB Function
The frequency of certain SSB multiplex broadcasts (fax and teletype) randomly shifts 1-2 kHz. To
receive these broadcasts steadily, enable the ISB* function to track frequency.
* ISB is a single sideband mode which is used with some SSB transmissions. Normally each side-
band carries identical information, but ISB modulates two different input signals - one on the upper
sideband, the other on the lower sideband.
