This is a question Bullshit and Bullshitters

We've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.

Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

Well, the sidebands...
... are the bit that carries the information. You can suppress one, and the carrier - this is what "single sideband" is - but it makes everything sound funny because it's hard to get the pitch right when you receive. You have to tune the receiver very precisely to the transmitter. The transmitter needs to be quite big and complicated. If you're making a bug, it most likely uses FM which has got both its sidebands exactly where they ought to be, either side of the carrier.
