[R-390] SSB with the R-39*...

Not true. ANY receiver with a BFO can receive SSB with proper 
use of the RF and AF gain controls, and tuning knob or BFO "pitch" 
controls, by the knowledgeable or experienced operator.

I am presently using an Hallicrafters S-41G to receive SSB and it 
does a good job, although I had to add an "RF" gain (actually IF 
gain) control to reduce the gain a bit on strong signals to prevent 
overload.

If the S-41G can copy SSB, the R-39* series sure as heck can.

Perhaps you were jesting with the above statement? If so, I 
apologize as I am a little dense sometimes.
