I guess this depends on what you consider frequency agile. For the FM
band most transmitters are already fairly frequency agile. For the AM
band I know the Nautel J-1000 has an optional kit that will allow you to
tune it across the entire band. According to the manual the process
takes about an hour. Also it is supposed to be able to operate over the
upper or lower half of the band (depending on how it was set up at the
factory) with simple field adjustments. I've noticed several people here
indicating that they had purchased this transmitter for that reason and
had it set up to be able to go on 2 (or more) frequencies after some
quick changes in the output network. I would consider that frequency
agile, others may not. Either way I sure hope that transmitter is type
notified.
