Do any of the solid state rigs from the mid-80s to present put out a
good AM signal? If so, which ones? Is the conventional wisdom true
that only by resurrecting a boatanchor tube transmitter can an operator
get a nice sounding AM signal?

Thanks!

Another example of a simple question where the threads stray so far off
topic, he question isn't even addressed in the end.

Paul, to answer your question:

The FT101's sound very good with a D104 microphone. If you are looking for
a good current solid state rig, the TS850 with the DSP100 and modulator feed
is very hard to beat. Of course, these are my opinions only and others may
disagree.
