either standard amplitude modulation (AM), lower
sideband (LSB), or upper sideband (USB) modulation.
The distance range of the set is approximately 2,500
miles and varies with atmospheric conditions. The unit
is protected by a 3-ampere HF RCVR and the 25-
ampere HF PWR circuit breaker on the overhead circuit
breaker panel (fig. 2-26). The control panel is located
on the pedestal extension (fig. 2-10).
