Hi Bob,

Thanks for your message. I was hoping for some form of engineering
mode to modify this.
I used SpectrumLab as audio signal generator and a R&S FPC1500
spectrum analyzer. In USB works nicely (I checked my setup with a K2
and an Afedri SDR receiver as well) but in AM the carrier appears at
approximately - 600 Hz.

I'll perform the Master Reset as suggested.

73,
