FTDX1200,3000,5000 AM performance??

[NightOwl326]

Can any owners of these models speak to AM mode transmitter performance?

Curious about the FTDX 950 as well.

I've also had my eye on the ftdx1200 and was curious of the same.

My only other experience with an HF transceiver on AM was an Icom IC-735 and if you gamed the ALC via the ALC port on the back with a 9 volt battery and a potentiometer you could get it to swing forward on an AVG watt meter and sound pretty good.

I've heard that a lot of the newer rigs don't have the overly agressive ALC on AM problems that the older rigs had.
