Wrong, Len. With the AGC disabled and BFO on, the *AF* gain should be
at maximum and the RF gain used for volume control.

For both SSB and CW/Morse reception


....and for RTTY. I'd have thought the old boy would have known all that
with his decades of experience. With the BFO injection of most old
boatanchor receivers, he'd likely hear little or no beat note at all
using the method he advocates.
