My first transmitter after earning the General was a Ranger used with an 
old S-40B. I'd zero beat an SSB conversation and use PPT In time with my 
sentences.  I talked with the one group for about a week before someone 
mentioned I had a bit of carrier on my signal.  No one ever complained 
about bandwidth or the "unwanted".
When I explained I was running a Ranger on AM with a fast PPT thumb, 
there was a lot of laughter.  I was copying SSB using the BFO on the old 
S-40B to inject a carrier at the receiver.
