Hi,

Let's say I pick up a regular HF shortwave station on AM.

Should I also be able to hear this same station on USB ?

If so, what would the freq. "offset" that I should increase the tuned
freq.
to ?

Should I expect the USB freq to be clearer, or... ?

Thanks,
B.



yes you can listen to AM on USB by slope detecting
the frequency would be 1.5khz higher than the AM frequency
the audio might sound clearer as the IF filters on USB would normally
be narrower than when on AM

Should be able to zero beat right to the frequency. I think you are confusing
the use of 'slope detection' to copy an FM signal with an AM detector.
