[:SENSe]:TAListen:AM:SSB:GAIN <num>

(Read-Write) Set and query the Tune & Listen AM SSB gain value.

Unlike regular AM (AM DSB with Carrier), the optimal IF path gain cannot be automatically determined for AM SSB, so it must be configured manually. The goal is to set the gain as high as possible (to take advantage of the range of the IF and audio paths) without distorting the audio signal. It is recommended that you keep increasing the gain until you hear distortion in the audio and then back off until you no longer hear any distortion.

NOTE: The system volume setting should still be used to determine the final desired volume/level of the audio output.
