Description
This softkey activates the linearly scaled amplitude modulation
function. The amplitude of the RF output changes linearly as a
function of AM input changes. See “Specifications” for the AM
characteristics, input range, and damage level. An asterisk next to
the key label indicates that this feature is active.

Description
This softkey (Option 002 only) activates the amplitude modulation
mode for an external source. The AM source is connected to the AM
modulation connector.
When external AM is in effect, the RF output is amplitude
modulated with a rate and depth set by the external source.
Amplitude scaling is controlled by the following softkeys:
AM Type
lOO%fV
AM Type
IOdB/V
. An asterisk next to the key
label indicates that external AM is active and
HM
is displayed on the
message line.
