Hi Phil, One of the things that makes getting the modulation up to snuff is to view the output on a modulation monitor. I use an old Kenwood SM220 in the trap position which allows me to adjust mike gain, carrier drive, ALC, etc until it looks good into a dummy load. I do this on all voice modes. It helps alot and makes it easy to see under or over modulation. A thought.

Tried AM for the first time this morning and had lots of carrier but only 30% modulated. Before I start playing, what do you recommend to do it right the first time.
