Well, that seems about "half right". Yes you can tune in AM with SSB and
it works quite well. And yes if you tune off frequency you will get a
heterodyne from the carrier and the receiver "BFO" (carrier reinsertion)
beating against each other. But when you do that, the sidebands will be
out of tune, so having PBT does nothing to correct that. Stay tuned in
on frequency. PBT is ok to tune out an adjacent channel interferer. Or
of course you can select the opposite sideband.

Half right is good for me. Half left, half right. Fair and balanced.
