I didn't say that it worked great, just that it worked.  And I didn't 
necessarily mean that you had to be in 2-way communication with the SSB stations. 
 What I said was that there is always something to listen to, if for no 
other reason than to show that the radio actually works to people walking by.  
For actual 2-way communications with an SSB station on the other end of the 
circuit, you will with the BC-654 have to switch back and forth between AM 
and CW.  If just listening, you can always turn off the breakers in the 
PE-103.  Enforcing radio silence is one of their functions.

Plus, the BC-654 is the only common HF set I can think of where the 
receiver and transmitter share a common mode switch.
