SMOP Of course. And I'm not interested in making it into any kind of issue, either. It just goes to show how sensitive people can be to the way things are phrased, and how statements get repeated down the chain. (even out of context) I agree completely and will repeat that Flex rigs work

Let me state for the record that in writing the DSP code in DttSP, no mode has received more thought or effort than AM except CW. I worked very hard on SAM, and I worked very hard thinking through and implementing synchronous carrier added DSB which allows very large modulation index compared

The best way to set up an AM transmitter, be it a Viking II or a Flex 5000A is to have a dummy load with an rf sampling coupler, an oscilloscope and an audio signal generator. With this equipment, you can set up an AM transmitter and leave all the settings alone. However, most radio amateurs

I will simply add that I've been operating my Flex 5KA on AM since I got is over 3 years ago and get nothing but compliments. Use a carefully tuned audio enhancement system, don't overdrive, throw in a classic 60 year old RCA 77DX ribbon and you get a superb result. I am very happy with my Flex

Gary I strongly suggest using an outboard DSP filter on the audio. The Flex radios are great receivers and will bring in signals at the noise level, but once you get to the noise level you can use a DSP audio processor to help reduce the background hiss. I use a BHI NEIM1031 unit that is
