Not THAT kind - the kind that had tubes and was a transceiver. They transmitted AM between 2 and 3 MHz. I think they were technically illegal when we did that trip, but the USCG still monitored 2182 KHz. I think even to this day marine SSB sets have an AM equivalent mode for 2182 even though the AM sets that would need this to communicate are decades gone. Anyone remember the telephone pole insulators in the backstay for the AM sets?
