Place in Standby, remove 30dB attenuator and connect the power meter directly to the power meter adaptor 
plate. Set dB REL to -16.8dB on the power meter, this is the loss of the waveguide adaptor only. 
 
Run through the remote stations for F0 to F3 in the ASI and log the standby results in section 4.3 of the build 
record. 
 
The  suppression  is  the  difference  between  the  high  power  output  and  standby.  For  example  +20dB  high 
power  output  and  -25dB  standby  power  would  be  a  suppression  of  45dB.  This  is  the  final  calculation  for 
section 4.3 of the build record.
