I have a friend of mine W9AD, he has a 5000A, operates it remote from
Mexico most of the time, and sounds like $1,000,000 on AM. Work him
every Saturday on 3.885 and no one has a better signal. Other than
myself of course.

I had to do a little damage control with a member of our regional AM
group who was put off a bit about a potential 5K purchase because he
was told a Flex employee had stated that the radio "was never designed
with AM use in mind".
Hearsay being what it is I don't know what was actually said, but I
certainly hope it wasn't stated quite that way. The 5K works very well
on AM; much better than any of the Japanese rigs, at least. Perhaps an
expanded section in the manual would help - I've helped several AM'ers
with the concept of 1:4 carrier vs modulated output. Once they "got"
it and paused long enough to learn about the TX audio controls, they
were fine.
My .02 only, adjust for local currency.
