I have one of those AM1C around here somewhere and wasn’t impressed with it either. Matter of fact when I first started messing with radio as a hobby, then later as a living, part 15 radio is pretty much what started it for me. My first AM “trashmitter” was from one of those 200 in 1 project boxes from Radio Shack. Although the audio a tiny bit better, those tunable/VCO/VFO type rigs just don’t hold up very well for long term use. Matter of fact I have noticed that these rigs like the AM1Cs and the old Radio Shack project box type transmitters tend to do FM rather than AM…which really messes things up. Anyone getting started into part 15….experimenting is good, but if you’re looking for quality and reliability, then go with the Alfredo Lites, Rangemasters, AM88 or the SSTRAN. Otherwise you’ll get grey hair fast trying to make a pile of poop shine like gold …..for lack of another way of putting it 😉
