That makes no sense unless you are also using a BFO in some mode like
side band.


No, it makes perfect sense. Have you used such a radio? BTW, the 2100 has
no BFO anyways.

I continue to be amazed by peoples lack of appreciation for sync
detection.


I appreciate sync detection just fine, having 2 radios that use it - a Drake
R8 and a Satellit 800. The 800's sync is much better than the R8's because
the 800 has selectable sideband. The R8 is double only. Note I'm talking
about an original R8, NOT an R8B!


Nice radios. Drake's are the best.

Selectivity is incredible, and fading is largely eliminated - even
without a sync - because you can get exactly centered on the signal
so easily.


Please explain how precisely tuning in a station improves reception
during selective fading. This makes no sense to me.
