I should have been clearer, 55 watts PEAK is near idle for the 101

The globe king is not a broad cast transmitter, hence why I said a globe king running a converted AM transmitter(as in the globe king is the exciter to the transmitter) You know what an exciter is dont you?????

And with almost all your coments, you have proven to me you are a classic golden screwdriver peak and tweaker, Git er done!

As for what my ft101e has done to it, The CW filter slot was modified for AM with some wiring changes to the band switch and filter board and a collins 7khz filter was adapted to the slot.

Most audio caps and a few transisters were upgraded as per the Foxtango AM modifications. Also a rebiasing of the Final PA for closer to class C amplification. SSB got a lil wider but still well within practicality and good practice. the trick is keep the ALC action to a minimum.

HI DEF, your assumption of the newer rigs not getting a true %100 modulated signal is almost definately correct. None of them utilize high level modulation. I was simply stating that with the software defined radios from tentec(and the Very wide ts870) they sound excellent.
