I guess I should have specified plate modulated AM transmitters. You are
right, my FT1000 Mark V does have the ability to go on AM but it also goes
on FM, RTTY and PKT. I wonder how many people use these modern day
transceivers on these modes. Let's stop this thread. Now with the
expansion of usable frequencies on 75/80, us Extras can go down and play
radio where the other lesser licensed can't go. On that subject, I can't
understand why the Advanced hams don't go down and pass the Extra written
exam, especially since the code requirements have been eliminated. My, it's
so easy to get on radio these days.

If AM is getting so popular, why aren't there any manufacturers producing
any equipment?
Where have you been the past 20+ years? Nearly all HF transceivers made
to-day include true double-sideband full carrier AM mode, along with SSB,
CW and various digital capabilities.
There aren't any major manufacturers producing HF rigs that are AM-only
for exactly the same reason they aren't producing SSB-only or CW only
rigs. (I'm not talking about little single-mode QRP kits.)
