Mike, It might be doable to use a watt meter that either looks at RMS carrier power, and PEP power by the flick of a switch. Since on AM the PEP at 100% plus modulation is ideally 4 times carrier power, the watt meter will show that, say for a 100 watt carrier, you should get 400 watts PEP.

Mike, I have two Ameritron AL-1200's and one AL-1500. I like the AL-1200's better as they provide a good match for the 22-25 watt level driver. With 22 watts of carrier, the AL-1200 will put out 375 watts of carrier with 1500 watts PEP with a real nice scope pattern. The Al-1500 needs only

I've been reading this AM linear thread with great interest. I currently run a TS570 which gives me no more than 25 watts of carrier, plus a bit more on modulation peaks. I have an unmodified DX60 that I intend to put back in service later this summer after a shack painting project is finished.
