Re: [IRCA] CC Skywave SSB second impressions

"The earlier mistake was mine-- I read the C.Crane online manual for the new Skywave SSB model, which makes no mention of SSB capability on the AM band, only on Shortwave. Stan actually purchased the model, however, and found out that the SSB function does indeed work on the AM band, despite the online manual's instruction to tune to Shortwave in order to enable SSB. Stan's correction is appreciated, and as such, I am placing an order for one of the Skywave SSB models to give it a thorough test."

You know, I could see it if they were trying to make the point that there's no full-on suppressed carrier single sideband transmission on the mediumwave band.  But if it actually says in the manual that you have to be tuned above 2 MHz to ENABLE SSB... jeez.  I thought at least somebody (well, maybe not the operating-manual writers...) at C.Crane was savvy about DXing.  But, uh, maybe not.
