Hi Dan, All receivers I mentioned have SSB, the first digital sony 7600 as
well as the yb400 and kaito 1102, both of which I've owned, and the kaito
1103/which I haven't,  all have sideband capability, but not switch
selectable usb and or lsb, sideband, it can only be tuned with the bfo.
I'll be glad to go into more detail if you wish. Danny.
