Why the heck don't they give hams 455 kHz as a CW channel since no one is using it any more? Or even as an AM CHANNEL?!!! Now THERE is a cool idea! You could easily detune the old tube AM broadcast band receivers to use them on that frequency! Pad those caps down from 530 kc. to 455 kc. An idea whose time has COME!
Can't be done this way if the BCB receiver IF is 455 Kc, as it commonly is. In this case the LO would have to be running at 0 Kc! The way to do it would be to disable & bypass the front-end and couple the antenna directly to the 1st IF stage. As someone else had mentioned, problems would be likely with the 455Kc signal bleeding into the 455 Kc IF stages of other radios not intended to receive it.
