Since the only documentation on this thing is the Pre-Release Brochure, I don't know how tough the technical questions about this not-yet-available product can be.

Because I thought it said, Congratulations Correct Answer, but after I posted the answer and went back to close the tab , it said it was the wrong answer. Don't know if the answer was wrong and I missed the response or some how I did something to enter again or I left the window open too long or what. If it's not Both A and B then I guess it was the fourth choice. I've never got into the AMSAT satellite stuff so I just went off what the Pre-Release Brochure seemed to imply.

Based on your reply, I answered "Satellite mode (both N and R)" which got the Congratulations. So, if there's anyone else here lurking, that's the answer.
