[AMRadio] The Drake TR-7 On AM

[BSugarberg]

Hello,

In the May, 2007 issue of Electric Radio, well-known Drake expert Jeff
Covelli, WA8SAJ, describes a simple modification for the Drake TR-7 that
allows it to use the 6 kc AM filter for AM transmitting, (instead of the 
default 2.3 kc SSB filter), thus allowing full double sideband AM transmit.
