The choice between "a" and "an" before an acronym depends on how the acronym is pronounced. Use "a" before acronyms starting with a consonant sound and "an" before acronyms starting with a vowel sound. For example, "a UFO" (pronounced as "you-ef-oh") and "an MRI" (pronounced as "em-arr-eye").

AM is already an acronym for "amplitude modulation", a system where a radio wave carries a signal by varying the amplitude of the wave. It is opposed to FM or "frequency modulation" where the signal is carried by variations in the wave's frequency. AM should not be confused with the acronym am which stands for "ante meridionem", a Latin phrase meaning "before noon".
Does an acronym have to be a word?
An acronym is a string of letters standing for the words in a phrase. So no - SCUBA was not a word before it was an acronym. As an acronym SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) has entered the language and now can stand on its own as a noun -- an aqualung or a verb - scubaed and scubaing, an adjective - the scuba industry. So no an acronym doesn't have to be a word, and just because some become words doesn't mean they should. HAND.

When writing a sentence containing an acronym should the word the be used before the acronym in a sentence?
It depends, in part, on whether it is really an acronym or an initialism. Typically, if it is an initialism representing the proper name of a specific organization, you would use "the" before it (e.g., the AFLCIO, the UN, the BBC, the UAE), but if it is a true acronym, you do not (NASA, NATO). The greatest exceptions seem to be the initialisms for names of universities (UCLA, NYU), which are typically pronounced without "the." That may be more prevalent in the United States than elsewhere.
