OK, clearly there is an advantage to that...
Does preserve the original carrier for traceability (sorta,
it does get inverted in phase from time to time)...
And the actual I channel of a Costas loop directly out of the I
double balanced mixer should have a plus and minus signal one could low
pass filter and feed to a simple zero cross detector to control the
phase flip. And if this is done by flipping carrier out of the TRF
stage via a DBM or analog switch and inverter it should preserve the AM
modulation on the original unless the TRF stage acts as a limiter...
