Applying a Modulation Format to the RF Output
The carrier signal is modulated when the Mod On/Off key is set to On, and an individual modulation 
format is active. 
When the 
Mod On/Off key is set to Off, the MOD OFF annunciator appears on the display.When the key 
is set to On, the MOD ON annunciator shows in the display, whether or not there is an active 
modulation format. The annunciators simply indicate whether the carrier signal will be modulated 
when a modulation format is turned on.
To Turn RF Output Modulation On
Press the 
Mod On/Off key until the MOD ON annunciator appears in the display.
The carrier signal should be modulated with all active modulation formats. This is the factory default.
To Turn RF Output Modulation Off
Press the 
Mod On/Off key until the MOD OFF annunciator appears in the display.
The carrier signal is no longer modulated or capable of being modulated when a modulation format 
is active.
