If you use a DDS of the AD9850/51, and probably the AD9832 type, there
is a very neat way of amplitude keying them.  Place an NPN transistor
in series with the D/A current setting resistor, and a small resistor
in teh emitter to give some neg feedback and key that.  Using a low
pass filter on the drive waveform allwos a gentle ramp rather than a
hard on-off.   More details are somewhere on the Analog Devices web
site

Not that gentle amplitude ramoing s a particularly good idea when used
for driving switching PAs
