Title: What Is "AME" ??? Post by: Glenn NY4NC on February 01, 2006, 01:18:22 PM I've noticed that some military and or commercial transmitters and exciters list "AME" as a mode of operation. What the heck is that?.. Could that be AM with one sideband? I've also heard the term "compatible AM"
Can anyone shed some light on this? Title: Re: What Is "AME" ??? Post by: WD8BIL on February 01, 2006, 02:06:52 PM compatible sideband transmission: Independent sideband transmission in which the carrier is deliberately reinserted at a lower level after its normal suppression to permit reception by conventional AM receivers. (188) Note: Compatible sideband transmission is usually single-sideband (SSB) amplitude-modulation-equivalent (AME) transmission consisting of the emission of the carrier plus the upper sideband. Synonym amplitude modulation equivalent.

My reason for asking is I have always thought it would be cool to use one of these surplus exciters on the ham bands. Should be easy enough to modify an AME into true AM.
