Squelch
Threshold adjustable in 1 dB steps
for RF input levels from –114 dBm
to –60 dBm (<6 to >30 dB (S+N)/N).
Incorporates Digital Coherent Mute
(DCM) technology to dynamically
filter on-channel interference. DCM
automatically mitigates co-location
for RF input levels from –114 dBm
to –60 dBm (<6 to >30 dB (S+N)/N).
