Keep the carrier around 20 watts or so. Remember that your '100 uses low-level modulation...and as such won't develop 'swing' like a rig which utilizes high-level modulation. My FR101S and FT201 sound very good on AM -if- I follow that rule...they'll distort otherwise due to lack of...

Almost forgot the RadShack variants; three of my favorites over the years were the TRC457/458/459. Would love to find a '457 in nice shape.

All good replies so far - ANY of those rigs would be right at home on my equipment table. A few more favorites of mine: Robyn 520 Lafayette Telstat 140 Hy-Gain 623 (only 23ch, but...man..I loved mine when I had it...)

And they're probably raising Cain on 14.313, 14.275 or assorted 75M frequencies even as I type this...

I've got a few from the 'boom years': Royce's 1-641, 1-642 and 1-639 AM/SSB rigs...the 1-625 AM set. Would love to get my hands on an excellent condition SBE LCBS-8, Midland 78-999 or GE Superbase. Maybe a CPI2000 with the accessory counter/tuner unit. Anyone else collect or use the older...

...understatement of the century there, dude...

Exactly what I have been getting at - 'hearsay' is NOT going to convict, and one may well find themeselves a target of a libel suit. A video of the action isn't necessary, but properly documented evidence - such as electronically captured spectrum analyzer traces - are vital to a successful...

I can't speak of past experiences, but the present-day issue centers around the incursion of illegals into 10M...12M... The amateur community at large - along with the ARRL - apparently reasoned that the potential for abuse outweighed any benefits that would be gained by the creation of a new...

Some apparently take it upon themselves to police the world's airwaves...and their motivations may or may not make sense to the rest of us. Currently, there's no law against monitoring the RF spectrum...with the exception of cellular and certain cordless-telephone frequencies. Another...

Just thought of a new angle on all this, Cyclops: If you're correct, and an amateur radio operator is required to notify the FCC of illicit activity if he or she is aware of it taking place...we can kiss this site (and a number of others) goodbye. For aiding and abetting, as it were...
