Anyone know where we can buy a 100 watt AM transmitter? This is for a AM station on STA.

Wish i could help, There just isn't allot of call for small AM stuff like that.
Looks like Ebay has a few things but nothing legal, the used transmitter folks i know only have the bigger 2.5kw.
You could always just buy a new 500watt and ramp it down if you have to stay at 100watts

I assume your current transmitter isn't able to be dialed down to 100 watts? Two alternatives would be to feed an existing transmitter into a waste load to achieve the desired power or find a transmitter capable of being dialed down. I know we were able to dial back a Harris MW-1 as low as 50 watts though I don't know if you'd really want to invest in nearly 40 year old technology to get to where you'd need to be.
I'm surprised more folks haven't snapped up one of these 100W solid-state boxes for aux / emergency use: http://www.aspisys.com/asm100.htm
Have a couple old 1 kw boxes. The freight might be worse than just buying or renting a new one. Harris has a freq agile 500 watt mil spec xmitter. There are a couple mw 1's at besco
