Perhaps, but one has to have some skill beyond flicking a switch from AM to sideband. Then there is the wait for the oscillators to settle down, adjusting the BFO and riding the RF gain control. Too complicated for some, I guess.

How much better would AM be if the same attention to detail was given to AM reception as was given to SSB? John P. Costas was right.

A lot of hams are not interested in some of the older receivers because of the lack of SSB suppressed-carrier reception. What falderal. Just turn on the BFO, turn off the AVC and use the RF gain.
