Any other hints and tips for using SSB would also be appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't know anybody who runs SSB anymore. I did a quick search and could only find two rigs on the market that offer SSB. But back in the day, it was mostly used by CB "DX'ers" who sprinkled Q-codes with the usual CB-speak.
