You might as well leave out the
AM modulator since it will be useless today. Back in '66-'67 there
were still some people on AM (mostly on 80 and 10 meters), but today
it's completly gone.


Thats interesting, I wonder what mode I was using on 2m last Sunday
morning?.
It was an AM qso over a distance of about 90 miles, received an R5-S3
and gave an R5-S2. Both of us were running about 2.5w

I remember having a Gonset 2m communicator I as a novice.
Is there any am left on 2m? Can those new multi mode rigs
even transmit on am?

I never said AM doesn't have it's place. It's gone as a DX mode,
but on a quiet band is great for rag chewing.
