Re: YEARS BEHIND

if there is sweep gear at the head end take a reference at the node and follow the same procedure you would use for forward sweep. once the trace is done all you have to do is make the line look flat and that is idiot proof. injecting is good but dosnt realy show yopu what is going on in the system's return. if you have a problem iut will shoiw up this way and that keeps you from having a wavering lione. every piece of cable has its own qualitys and wil show any default or suck out that there. injecting will only get you levels but it wont nrealy show you what thge system is doing......good luck

TO DO RETURN BALANCE WE USE 1 OF 2 WAYS WE GO TO THE END OF THE LINE AND INJECT 42DB AND BALANCE THE RUN LIKE THAT ENSURING THAT WE HIT EACH AMP WITH 17DB, OR WE SET A SPECTRUM IN THE HUB AND INJECT 42DB BACK TO THE HUB AND PAD UP OR DOWN FROM THERE. IF WE FIND A NODE WITH A LOT OF INGRESS OR COMMON PATH WE WOULD START AT THE NODE PULL EACH FILTER TO FIND THE SIDE ITS COMING FROM. WE WOULD GO FROM THE TRUNK TO THE BRIDGER AND ON TO THE LINE EXTENDER AND THEN FINALLY TO THE TAPS. ANY SUGGESTIONS TO HELP WITH EFFICIENCY.
