[Elecraft] KX2, spy radio

[Jim Sheldon]

Naw, he just figured out a practical way to use it in smaller radios by 
the invention of the narrow bandwidth, very steep skirted "mechanical" 
filter to lop off the unwanted sideband (if you consider the radios of 
that day smaller - LOL).  The real use of SSB came when General LeMay of 
SAC adopted it for their world wide HF communications network and 
propagation conditions during that time were so good that it was almost 
impossible NOT to communicate anywhere you wanted to with SSB.
