Bernie,
I think that it is more of a reflection of our society as a whole now days.
I want it now, I want it my way, I don't want to have to put forth any
effort to get it and if I have to step on some one else to get it that's ok
as I'm just looking out for myself.

All that is need for communications grade AM is 300Hz to 3KHz audio. Just
use a 6db/octave rolloff at 3KHz.

Why cant you people understand that you can operate AM anywhere you can
operate SSB. A calling frequency is just that . A CALLING FREQUENCY.
The East Coast AM group thinks they own 3880. The West Coast group feels the
same way about 3870.
What's nice to know is where to look for AM operation.
Thank you Bob and Thank you Steve...There is NO BIG deal here folks..We do
not live by the so called Band Plan...Just operate AM with good operating
practices and enjoy HAM RADIO and don't think about band plans... When the
FCC starts getting involved then we worry but the US GOV has no time to
This is wonderful in theory.
So what are we supposed to do with WWII era equipment such as BC-610s?
The entire audio chain goes from 400 to 3500cps. Guess I'll just
continue along as I have been doing since I got both of them.
I do run a monitor scope, and I know it is clean. I do have to
Bob,DGN, You can throttle the above 3 K off with an EQ and not let the
transmitter pass the above 3K audio... I run a GATES BC1G which goes out a
lot more then 3K but have it throttled off and can run 100% or more positive
peaks keeping the negative side down below 100% with a limiter...Robert

an extra 100cps on each sideband, then so be it.

I agree with Larry here. But I want to know where exactly does it give

doesn't matter. No where does it say 2700Hz, 3200HZ, 3500Hz or 6000Hz. My

What do you set the resting plate current on your BC-610?

It is setting the Modulator bias. The manual says 40ma. I usually have
to dial it down a bit, or REALLY run the audio gain down a good bit.
Both my BC-610 and my T-213 put 400W out on pure carrier.

Yeah but Bob - if you want to make some kind of binding RULE out
of that vague requirement then your AM signal should only be
4 kHz wide, because under ideal circumstances the guy on the
other end could still understand you.

No, I bet you could run twice the legal power for years and no one would

After all, how can you tell the difference between a good antenna or twice

Well, there are those that I could swear are running a pair of 4-1000As!
I could plead ignorance due to not having an adequate device to properly
measure the PEP output.
But then my heart wouldn't be in it.

True, but DSB AM rig modulated with 300 to 3k audio certainly won't
fit into a 2700 Hz segment of the band -that's the problem.

You are correct Brett except if anyone ever complained. If your signal
is clean and under 6-7 KC they probably wouldn't care because of the
fact that the signal at the receiver only moves just a bit with each
doubling of power.
I believe W6HLH is an example of what you say, as is a number of
