AM Off On

Supported
This softkey toggles the operating state of the amplitude modulation for whichever AM
path configuration you have selected.
There are two paths for amplitude modulation which can be simultaneously enabled as
long as they use different sources (Internal 1, Internal 2, Ext1, or Ext2). The modulation
signals from both paths are summed internally for composite modulation.When
amplitude modulation is on, the ΑΜ annunciator is turned on in the display.

AM Path 1 2

Supported
This softkey enables you to select an amplitude modulation path. AM Path 1 and 2
define two standard amplitude modulation configurations which can be used together.
and
AM Path 1 AM Path 2
can be switched to any one of the modulation sources: Internal 1, Internal 2, Ext1, or
Ext2. All modulation types can be simultaneously enabled, except FM with ΦM. AM,
FM, and ΦM can sum simultaneous inputs from any two sources. Any given source can
only be routed to one activated modulation type.
