  5. In the stabilized reactance modulator AFC system

  6. A.
    phase modulation is converted into amplitude modulation by the equalizer circuit
    B.
    the discriminator frequency must not be too low or the system will fail
    C.
    the discriminator must have a fast time constant to prevent demodulation
    D.
    the higher discriminator frequency, better the oscillator frequency stability
