The five wouldn't have a product detector, unless it had been modified.

Uh-oh, dyslexia, reading what you thought you saw instead of what was there. I
read 05 as 50. Nope, I wouldn't expect a PD in that vintage rig!

I'm not even sure the 60 had one; I recall seeing an article about an SSB
adaptor that fitted in the socket intended for an FM detector, though perhaps
I am misremembering the HRO model.

You are right. My 60 has an accessory socket for the NBFM that National was
promoting as an alternative to AM back when SSB was new, and yes, a previous
owner built/bought an SSB box and plugged it in there.

I thought there was an HRO or two that did not include a BFO. Intended
for some specific use, it was a semi-custom version. I thought I had
read something about this, but like many things, I sure can't remember where.

National did make special models for the FAA (CAA), etc., leaving off or adding
some feature. Maybe the original poster has such a set. 73, Mike K.
