That's marvelous, thanks! I've always been a huge fan of the 6809.
I've got way too much stuff already, but I'm afraid that if I ever ran
onto a CoCo at a garage sale it might follow me home. I've so far
successfully resisted buying one on ebay.
I noticed as you were flipping through the Operations Manual there
appeared to be a sketch of the back of a TV with an RF modulator
attached. This makes me wonder if some early models may not have
included the integral modulator. Perhaps the sketch was just showing
you how to connect the CoCo while avoiding going through a modulator
that was already present for some other device. Come to think of it,
the modulator they showed in the sketch looked rather similar to the one
for my Atari 2600.
