 +===== AM-1 vs. AM-2 Operational Differences =====
 +  * **AM-1 (Low Power):** Designed for a "dead key" carrier of ~100W; used for tuning or low-drive AM.
 +  * **AM-2 (High Power):** Enables full plate current for maximum RF swing; requires high airflow.
 +  * **Switching Logic:** Changes the bias voltage on the 4CX250B grids and may switch plate voltage taps.
