AM Series
AGILE MODULATOR
AM series is a family of frequency-agile analog audio/video modulators. AM-60-860, the flag-ship model, is available in NTSC
channels 2-135 (54-860 MHz), and the PAL B, G, and I channels in the same frequency range.
More economical models are available in NTSC for the frequency ranges 54-550 MHz, or 54-806 MHz. EAS (Emergency
Alert System) is standard on all models. Stereo Audio, SAP (Secondary Audio Programming), and several other optional
features are also available.
