[AMRadio] Whic radio might be best on AM?

[rbethman]

Jim,

The TS-930 & TS-930SAT do VERY well on AM.  They send TRUE DSB 
w/Carrier.  They receive AM GREAT!

To transmit AM with it, set carrier to about 20W, turn compression OFF, 
and "inch" in the mic gain until you JUST have 100% modulation.

Feed a pair of 3-500Zs.  They'll think you are running a BIG RIG.
