Note that the Saturation [dB] and Auto Receiver Threshold [dB] setting do nothing for the QTrack system.
They should be set to 99 so they do not activate.

Set the Threshold to 10 dB and the Hysteresis to 3 dB. These will allow the tracking to continue until the
received level reaches 10-3 or 7 dB above the RF Zeroed level.
