I can make my '348-R "do" SSB the usual MVC way, but use the BFO to zero-beat AM stations and then use it lock my BC-375 onto the freq. My milsurp SSB heavy hitter is a BC-312: It has the reduction gearing so I can walk up to a SSB signal w/o too much fuss. Get it close, lock the vernier, and fine tune w/the BFO. 73 DE JIM K6FWT
