I have noticed that pretty much all AM and AM stereo processors do something that Breakaway does not and that is limiting the negative peaks through their asymetrical peak limiters. This could potentially improve audio fidelity and range for AM broadcasters using the software by adjusting both peaks. Example being with 150% positive peaks the negative peaks will only be 50% or with 125% positive peaks the negative peaks are 75%. The AM and AM stereo support in the processor is about the best I have ever seen for any piece of software and this is about the only suggestion I could possibly make for improvement.

Are you somehow not seeing this option?
Turned up to 50% that allows for 150% positive peaks. 🙂 Just make sure you’re allowing enough headroom (L/R Ref Level) on the output (at least 3dB + any extra for tilt, PEQ, etc) so the peaks will have somewhere to go.
Let us know how it goes 🙂 Cheers.
I am seeing that option and have it adjusted for 150% positive peaks. Support for AM stereo was discussed in the past and from what I read about the asymetrical peak limiter it only works on the positive peaks and leaves the negative peaks at 100%. Might need to go over the thread again just to be sure I got everything correct. I also tried the suggestion from a past thread for sounding like an Optimod 8100 with the XT2 chassis and say it killed two birds with one stone. The audio sounds like an Orban Optimod 9100B if the matrix processing modes are selected and the audio passband is set to 12 or 10 KHz. I used to have an aircheck of KYCW 1090 out of Seattle Washington, a radio station that used said processor and those settings are about a dead ringer to what I remember. Its actually driving a part 15 legal Motorola C-QUAM AM stereo transmitter which seems to have a range of about 2,000 feet.
