Good old Siltronix 1011D Comanche, nice radio, yes SSB is a lot better then AM, nice FD-1011 too, the readout in those get extremely hot so I wouldn't leave it on too long.I have a 1011C sitting here that I recapped but it needs a 8950 tube.

That's the problem with those old radios...tubes cost more than the radio!

True, the one I have I bought back in 1966, sentimental.

I have a 1011D with weak mod output but strong carrier, what could be wrong? I tried two different mics but fear trying a power mic as if I remember they won’t work with them.

lower the carrier = more modulation

Do the 1011D's tend to drift?

[MDYoungblood]

Yes they are drifty, even more so than there counterpart radio the Swan, both were made by the same company, Swan was an HF rig. Siltronix came out with a matching frequency counter, the 1011F, so you could keep it close to the frequency you were talking on, BTW it worked well with the Swan radios too.
