Default Look at what Griffey thinks his amp will do...
wrote:
This in reality means that a 100% single tone modulated AM signal
can reach PEP values of around 165 watts. So that his amp should be
rated around 40 watts carrier on AM and around 160 watts PEP on
sideband.

In properly-adjusted AM, average power at 100% modulation = 1.5 X
resting carrier power, and PEP = 4 X resting carrier power

This was taken from http://www.ab4oj.com/peptest.html

which also agrees with
http://www.rf-amplifiers.com/index.php?topic=peak_power

Nice try...
