I don't think the original poster understands how to set up a linear for AM.
The Warrior is capable of about 600W PEP. A 150W 100% modulated
carrier is 600W PEP. That's less than 2dB over the straight DX100.
When you tune the linear you must tune it for MAX PEP not MAX
Carrier. This unfortunately results in about 30% efficiency
(compared to 60% when driving it with SSB or CW).
