[AMRadio] Source Broadcast Xmtrs

[rbethman]

I might also add that BC-610s and T-213s perform an excellent job on AM.

Uncle Sam used them on The Armed Forces Network.

There are those that refer to them as "garbage".  The same ones complain 
about the cost of 100THs, 250THs, and 2A3s.

I've NOT had a problem getting them, NOR at a decent price.

They do NOT have any fans, NOR do they need them.  They WILL run 24/7.  
One only needs to learn to tune and use them.

They will hold a 400W carrier.  You control the modulation.  You CAN 
dial the carrier down.

So what is wrong with these?
