Is this the current URL?

If you really want to see the article, put the title in quotes and search
for it on google. You will get one hit and then can look at the cached
version.

That being said, the author of the does not really know how a sync detector
works, nor does he understand how it helps to receive a signal.

In other words, don't bother with this article.

How about this URL:

Indeed; that is always a good strategy but for archival references I
wondered if there was a correct URL.

I didn't.

FWIW, I have always just zero-beated a BFO on AM weak or noisy signals
to improve intelligibility; on receivers with good LO and BFO stability,
this works well. In an SSB mode, the product detectors and narrower
filters are additional advantages for AM signals. As a simple
homebrew retrofit for a synch det. capability, have any readers
ever built an injection lock circuit that locks the BFO using
limited IF (perhaps best suited to older rigs) or added a phase
detector and error amp to drive a varactor on the BFO xtal for
newer rigs? I see that there is a not-well-regarded injection
lock mod for the r-390a, but I would appreciate hearing about
results for other rigs as well.

Welcome - Here are some of my documents that may interest you.

TOPIC - SHORTWAVE RADIO

* Advice to Shortwave Newbies
(useful sources of information and useful links)

* Minimal Antennas and Grounds
(why they may be all you need)

* So You're Certain You Need an Outdoor Antenna
(with a link to a reasonable design)

* Why Antenna Tuners Aren't Necessarily Useful for Shortwave
Listening
(this article could save you some money)

* A Rambling Review of the Lowe HF-150
(a nice receiver)

* Nifty 48- inch (122-cm) Whip Antenna with a PL-259 Connector

* The Sony 7600G and Its Synchronous Detector
(why sync detectors are worth having)

IMHO - For the 'Price' the Sony ICF-SW7600GR 'portable'
AM/FM Shortwave {World Band} Radio is one of the Best
Radios featuring AM Synchronous Detection [.]

I read the piece and was surprised enough to review again his claim of
SD alleviating multipath issues to be sure I hadn't missed something,
then came to the same conclusion as you have.

IMHO - He simply wrote the piece from the 'perspective' of a
Radio Listener {User} trying to Put-into-Words the Results
that he was Hearing. He was not trying to 'communicate' to
a Radio Engineer or Techie - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techie

.

- Then he shouldn't have tried to flog technical terms beyond
- their meaning,
-
- just say that sometimes SD makes the thing sound better.

BB - Yes sometimes AM-Sync does make 'things' sound better.

on that we can agree ~ RHF
