*There* are the keys: it is NOT a linear amplifier and it is NOT
easily QSYd. And while we are at it, the modulator itself does
not enter into the picture. RCA correctly claimed 90% (or
better) efficiency in the PA itself. I have seen such efficiencies
in an AM rig myself. But they were "ordinary" AM rigs, fixed-
frequency and not a piece of cake to tune.
