AM Ext Menu
The AM External Menu allows you to view and modify settings for external
amplitude modulation mode. In this mode, the RF output signal is modulated
according to the signal that is applied to the rear panel AM IN connector.
Parameters in this submenu that can be modified are:
AM
Enables or disables amplitude modulation. The active menu, that is, the menu
that is currently being displayed, determines the AM mode that is used. Pressing
either the adjacent soft key or the Step Up or Step Down buttons toggle the AM
state.
The AM
indicator is displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the display when
amplitude modulation is turned on.
Sensitivity
Determines the percentage of modulation produced per Volt of input
into the AM IN connector. The AM sensitivity can be modified using the numeric
keypad, the step up/step down buttons, or the rotary knob. The AM sensitivity
range is 0 to 95 %/Volt, and the step size can be set in the range of 0.10 to 47.5
%/Volt.
