The lower the horizontal scan rate the higher, not lower , the resolution in pixels. In any case, I found a statement of 4.5 Mhz bandwidth for that system, and double sideband AM, black at 100% up modulation, but it didn't say whether the 4.5 Mhz was the baseband or the DB channel width. Somebody with a transmitter .... or the manuals ... should know. But nobody has manuals.
