[AMRadio] Re: Carrier with one sideband

[rbethman]

The "modern" SS rigs do NOT generate AM in that manner.

The last radio that I saw that used a carrier with ONE sideband for AM 
was the Collins KWS-1.  That is precisely why I did NOT procure one when 
the opportunity arose.

As to Vestigal SB, that INDEED is used in Amateur TV signals, however, I 
cannot remember whether it is for slow scan or fast scan.  It eludes me 
at the moment, AND no carrier is used.
