Most AM guys that have SSB radios seem not to care about being on freq. Maybe it is because they use them for AM anyway. Can't say. But any SSB/CB enthusiasts - like myself - want a radio that is as spot-on as one can muster. If AM is off frequency they don't really notice it seems, you can be off as much as 200hz before one can really notice. Not so for SSB.

I've worked on more than a few locals AM only radios and most of them ranged from being only slightly off freq to wildly off freq. Thing is, they didn't bring me their radios for freq alignment. Mostly for blown finals or fixing their swing mods. I had to point out just how much their radios were off freq and demonstrate how significant it was.
