And yet, for some reason, manufacturers maintained this configuration, necessitating the use of an extra filter ¡ª which is by far more expensive than two simple crystals.?

Hi Gary,
You are indeed in the minority knowing this gem of information!? The old ARC-5? 5.000-5.500 MHz VFO was perfect for this use!
I spent a fair amount of time trying to explain why I was using USB on 40 and 75 operating from Military (and civil) transport type aircraft from 1981 to 2018.?? I have since retired and even now, still use USB on 40 and 75.
You see, only "amateurs" and CB'ers use lower sideband on any MF/HF band.?? The rest of the MF/HF world standardized with USB long ago.
One would think that if those "amateurs" were really serious about inter-operating with the rest of that MF/HF world, and actually be "ready" for emergency communications with MF/HF Marine and Land Mobile services (many of which have radios that don't operate on LSB) those "amateurs" would also agree to "standardize".??
But it will never happen.?
