Jim, I suppose it is also preference. BJ and I modified the Kenwood TS820 to full double sideband and it runs about 10-20 watts carrier output in that mode we drive and SB200 modified with a switch to kick in extra bias when we use in on AM. It puts out about 75-80 watts carrier with good modulation characteristics. So the combo is equivalent to a DX100 with maybe better audio.

That said, I've seen "working" Heath SB-220's for sale around $300.00. Also many of us in this group already have a nice linear already as part of their SSB station. If it is already there, use it on AM! Cheers, Jim
