Which would indicate proper operation of a SSB transmitter rated at 60 Watt PEP output in J3E mode?

Correct Answer: Option B — In SSB (J3E) voice mode, with the transmitter keyed but without speaking into the microphone, no power output is indicated.

In J3E (Single Sideband Suppressed Carrier) mode, the transmitter only produces RF power when audio is present. If the transmitter is keyed but no audio is input, the carrier is suppressed, resulting in zero power output. This confirms the transmitter is correctly suppressing the carrier as required.
