LEVEL INPUT MPXn LEVEL read write This parameter is the max audio peak in dBu that can come from the transmitter on the MPX input For example if the audio peak from the source is 6 dBu this parameter must be set to 6 dBu for optimal operation If you do not know the audio source level you may use an audio analyzer or display first level measurements on the front panel to read the MPXn LEVEL Be aware that if the level is poorly set the deviation may become too low or too high This level is also called nominal level i e the level producing the deviation as set in the Modulation menu From 18 dBu to 18 dBu DRIVE INPUT MPXn DRIVE read write With this parameter you can slightly compensate the input audio level It directly affects the final deviation A negative value decreases the deviation a positive value can increase the deviation and or cause the MPX hard clipper to be used if enabled which in turn may lead to audio distortion We recommend you leave it at 0 dB From 6 dB to 6 dB RMS INPUT MPXn RMS read only This parameter indicates the average value of the transmitted signal s excursion in kHz From 150 to 150 kHz PEAK INPUT MPXn PEAK read only This parameter indicates the peak value of the transmitted signal s excursion in kHz From 150 to 150 kHz Page 39 Head Office Parc d activites Kennedy 20 avenue Neil Armstrong 33700 Bordeaux Merignac France fa Tel 33 0 5 57 928 92
