Operator Bob,

I guess the questions I am asking. Does having separate USB/LSB switch
make a difference when listening to sideband signals?

Sure does!

Will having
separate USB/LSB along with synch detection make that much of a
difference trying to listen to weak AM signals both on AM and
shortwave?

If your experience matches mine you might have some difficulty getting the
sync-det to lock on the variable intensity SSB signals but on AM it will make a
difference depending on which side of the signal is being encroached.
I guess you mean AMBCB and SW in which case the operation is the same.


A sync detector is not designed to be used on an SSB signal. It is no
wonder that you have some difficulty.

A sync detector works by locking onto the carrier of the signal. In SSB
there is no carrier.
