Default Re: AM on 80m - Much Happening?

Japanese rigs achieved "AM" in various ways - I will say almost.
Is it one sideband with a bit of carrier leaked in?

Is it a carrier, AM modulated in an early stage, and then linearly amplified-ish?
FT221 Style? They tried all these.

Even the very modern DSP rigs supporting AM leave you to set up carrier and mod depth for yourself - at least - AFIK.
They could be very good once sorted out but I wouldn't be sure about the off the shelf settings.
