3.6.1 OUTPUT AMPLITUDE CONTROL
(AM MODULATION)
Normal internal control is provided by a jumper wire con-
nected
between pins
5
and 6 of the REMOTE plug as
shown below.

down to DC, can be provided with
a

having a DC offset.
In this case, resistor
R1 is omitted. In
all cases, the peak modulating voltage plus the DC offset
must be within the limits of
-18
to
+2
volts, as shown in
Figure
3-6, or distortion will occur. The modulation fre-
quency limits the maximum useable percentage of modula-
