[TenTec] AM, was "Just noticed ..."

[Ken Brown]

Do any of you know whether when running SSB-AM the carrier power has to 
be the same as it was for DSB-AM in order for a regular AM detector to 
demodulate the signal properly? Or when removing one sideband, and 
keeping the remaining sideband at it's original power level, can the 
carrier power be lowered and still get good demodulation without a 
syncronous BFO at the receiver? Stated another way; If you removed one 
sideband and doubled the power of the remaining sideband, would you have 
to double the power of the carrier in order for a regular AM detector to 
demodulate the signal properly?
