Enabling or disabling the modulation
The modulation is ON by default, but the AM can be turned ON and OFF by pressing
[AM
ON/OFF]
at the right hand side of the display and the modulation can be enabled or disabled by
pressing [MOD ON-OFF]. These are both toggle actions, i.e. press ON, press OFF. The soft key
acts only on the selected modulation whereas the [MOD ON-OFF] acts on all modulations.

Using the [
×
×
10] and [
Ø
÷
10] keys
When a parameter has been selected via the numerical key pad, its value can be incremented or
decremented either in steps using the [
×
] key and the [
Ø
] key, or continously with the control
knob. Select
[Carrier Freq.]
and observe that the effect of pressing the [
×
] and [
Ø
] keys is to
change the carrier frequency in steps of 1 kHz. Default step sizes are assigned to all parameters but
these can be changed, see 'INCREMENTING (using
Δ
)'.
Using the control knob
(1) Press [KNOB UP-DN] to enable the control knob.
(2) On the display, brackets will appear above and below the selected parameter. These brackets
embrace the part of the value which the control knob can change. Pressing the [
×
10] key
shortens the bracket length by one decimal place. Pressing the [
÷
10]
key
increases the bracket
length by one decimal place. In this way the sensitivity of the control knob can be increased or
decreased by a factor of ten.
(3) Rotate the control knob and observe the change in the selected parameter. Press [KNOB
UP-DN] to disable the knob.
(4) For other parameters, press the relevant soft key and use the [
×
]and [
Ø
] keys or the control
knob.
For
RF Level the knob resolution is fixed at 0.1 dB.
