Tony - with most of the Japanese rigs that can run AM, you need to set you=
r
power level for about 30 watts of carrier output when using AM. That will =
allow it to
modulate up to the full 100 watts.
A lot of guys make the mistake of running full power on AM and then it sou=
nds like
crap or has almost no modulation.
I bet you will start getting good reports using this method.
Your meters will NOT wiggle all the way up to 100 watts on
voice modulation peaks, of course; they are too damped or that.
Try starting out under ideal conditions like daytime on 7290 kHz +/- or e=
arly
evenings on 3880 kHz +/-
See you on AM!
