S (Synchronous)-AM mode:
The Synchronous AM demodulation is a receive method that
mixes the incoming signal with a pure carrier frequency with
no level variation, then extracts one of the two sides (USB or
LSB) signal which is free from interferences.
This method is effective to reduce the distortions due to
fading, or interferences from adjacent stations.
When the "D-STAR" and "FM" icons alternately blink:
Indicates that an FM signal is being received while in the
Digital (D-STAR) mode.
