Probably best to do it at the IF frequency rather than at RF.

[email protected]Subject: [nanovna-users] Use CW output as a BFO for SSB reception on a AM only receiver?
Has anyone ever tried using the CW output feature to generate a carrier for reception of SSB (LSB/USB) on a cheap shortwave receiver that can only receive AM mode signals? It seems like this should be thoretically possible by attaching a small whip to the nanoVNA and placing it in the vicinity of the receiver. But probably tricky to get the exact frequency dialed in, as well as the signal strength relative to the sideband signals. Just seems like a fun radio exercise or for an emergency need.
