That brings back a memory when I first started. I didn't have all mode VHF equipment, just a two meter FM rig and a kenwood TS-440. I wanted to listen to some of the SSB activity on two meters, so I took the cover off the two meter rig, and tapped the IF from the FM rig to the TS-440, and I could receive 2m SSB. Even though the FM rig only did 5 khz steps, the IF output was still wide enough to cover everything in the vicinity of the 2m frequency. The things we do to have fun sometimes.
