21 HOW TO OPERATE AM AND SAM MODES
To operate in Amplitude Modulation (AM) or Synchronous AM (SAM) mode, select AM or SAM on
the Slice Receiver’s mode drop down menu. In selective fading conditions SAM mode may provide
better detection of AM signals. The receiver’s preset AM filter is selected on the drop-down menu
along with the mode selection. The carrier frequency indicator is shown at the center of the filter
passband.
Note: The filter bandwidth may be adjusted on either side by dragging the side of the filter with
the mouse. This allows asymmetrical filter settings to eliminate heterodyne carriers or other
interference on one side of the desired signal.
The AM Carrier control allows the carrier level to be set while maintaining a constant overall PEP
output of the transmitter. With the AM Carrier control set to maximum, standard 25% carrier
operation is provided. When both the RF Power and AM Carrier controls are set to maximum, the
carrier level will be approximately 25W and PEP output will be approximately 100W. Reducing the
RF Power control will reduce the carrier level and PEP in proportion. By reducing the AM Carrier
level, the percentage of carrier relative to total PEP can be reduced to increase talk power in the AM
sidebands. This is called Reduced Carrier AM.
