4. You can now set the AGC Pad Maximum and Minimum to control the
amount of gain allowable.
- Example: With an RF pad value of 13 dB, you want to allow the pad
to adjust to a maximum of 23 dB, and you want to limit the pad to a
minimum of 11 dB. This gives you an AGC Pad Maximum = 23 dB and
AGC Pad Minimum = 11dB, as shown in Figure 4-1.
- You will be able to go back and look at these AGC settings via the
Receiver Diagnostics menu, and you can adjust them via the Receiver
Adjustments menu (see Section 3.1.3).
