In the '''Transmit''' tab:
# Set '''Frequency''' to <code>4625</code> with the unit '''kHz''', and '''Power (W)''' to <code>100</code>.
# Choose the '''Modulation''' '''AM Double Sideband Full Carrier''' and tick '''Auto''' beside '''Bandwidth (Hz)'''.
# Under '''Source''', choose '''Audio file''', press '''Choose…''' and pick a short audio file.
# Press '''Start TX'''.

The session appears in the '''Sessions''' list as '''Running'''. '''Queued''' means every transmitter slot is taken; it starts by itself when one is free. Select the session to see the '''Radio deck''' meters. '''Listen to own TX''' plays your signal as transmitted. '''Stop''' ends it.

[[SimTX Guide/Transmitting|Transmitting]] covers every control. If the session fails, its message says why; see [[SimTX Guide/Troubleshooting|Troubleshooting]].
