[Milsurplus] TCS-12 AM output.

[Hubert Miller]

In the examples I gave of the 3BZ coastwatcher radio and the maybe suitability of the Navy TCH, you DO want to squeeze all the AM watts you can get.
The TCH has an AM output up to 1/3 the CW output.  This is very approximately -6 dB from CW. But – some coastwatchers were not trained in CW – by
those I mean the Australian civilian observers – so had to use AM or nothing to communicate. In this case, with low power, the extra watts might mean
the difference between message got through and "heard carrier, couldn't make out rest." My opinion anyway.
