Sorry, Chuck.  I am still not sure I understand the whole deal.  I am
not even sure how a PLL is being used since it's all AM and there's no
real phase information being transmitted - is there?

I was starting to read this:

And it just made me more confused as to what you're trying to
accomplish using complex operations on a signal where the lower
sideband has been filtered away.

Any more help?

Thanks,
Brian
