[TenTec] New TT QRP rig AM

[WA3FIY]

In the past Ten Tec did not offer AM transmit on their rigs but 
with the introduction of the Pegasus that changed.  Not 
immediately.  It was a feature added by a firmware update some 
months after introduction. 

Someone help me out here.  I believe the AM produced  by the 
PJ's is true double sideband AM as opposed to the single 
sideband with carrier produced my most other rigs.  Perhaps the 
JA IF DSP rigs also produce double sideband AM.

Anyway, I've had a lot of fun the few times I've run AM with the 
Pegasus and I've received very nice reports once I learned how 
to set it up.  Although I usually run barefoot at 20 watts carrier, 
if I need more power I tune-up my 3-500 using 40 watts drive.  I 
then set my carrier at 10 watts for AM operation.  Gives a nice 
fully modulated 200 or so watts.
