Yes I'm also hoping/waiting for AM TX to be allowed on an FM filter.
I've yet to try it but I'm sure if I lie to the K3 it'll work... As to
how clean and w/in spec it'll be that would take some looking...

Gee, that is a nice "toy" Mark.
I wonder how many K3's you could buy for the price of one of those
units

In AM analog broadcast, asymmetrical modulation is standard fare.

Hi Joe,
Yes, you are correct and I understand what you are saying.
However, reduced carrier power from the K3 TX is not an issue if driving an
external amplifier to, say, 100 watts carrier. In this case, output from the
K3 may be only 10 watts carrier (40w peak), leaving plenty of overhead to
a

You do not want more than 100% positive modulation with the K3.
If one assumes 25W of carrier, 100% positive modulation represents
100W peak power
Thanks for the reply Tom - your information is appreciated. I have been to
your website a few times but I hadn't visited the AM page before. Lots of
good information there. I had to read it a few times to take it all in.

Using the FM filter for AM transmit has been requested but may or may
not happen. According to Wayne, this depends on whether it can meet
transmit specs and development priorities. I'd like to have AM mainly

I can't speak for details on the K3. Only generally.
