Jim,
The TS-930 & TS-930SAT do VERY well on AM. They send TRUE DSB
w/Carrier. They receive AM GREAT!
To transmit AM with it, set carrier to about 20W, turn compression OFF,
and "inch" in the mic gain until you JUST have 100% modulation.
Feed a pair of 3-500Zs. They'll think you are running a BIG RIG.

The drake R8 is likely a nice receiver, but may not be ham ready
with muting and so on. I would look into that.
They are expensive I think.
The NRD-525 may be good, I never had one but talk to people who have them
and they seem to like them.
The others I dont know anything about, but never had an ssb rig that I
liked on AM,
not even the yaesu FT102.

Since I trade radios a lot and since the Belton Hamfest is coming
soon I am looking at several transceivers to trade for. I am also
keeping my TS-B2000 that I use now for everything.
The current choices are;
A Drake TR-7 This says it simulates AM with a carrier and only the
upper side band. That might not sound good
A Kenwood Ts-940SAT
A Kenwood TS-930S.
OR just a receiver and transmit on the 2000 like I do now;
A Grundig Satellit 800
A Drake R-8
A JRC NRD-525
A Yaesu FRG-7
Any comments on these are appreciated. You can email me off the list
if desired. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks, Jim.
