I think I've got it figured out. For AM, the carrier should be 1/8 of the
PEP maximum or 1/4 of the max carrier. So an amp rated 100W AM/FM/CW, 200
WPEP SSB should run with a 25 W carrier on AM. Does that sound right to
everyone?



The peak power on AM is 4 times the carrier power. But, don't forget, AM
has TWO sidebands, not one.
