External Mixer State
- On or OFF. Default OFF. LO Position: Select LO position. LO1/2 Output Level - When enable is checked, the LO 1/2 signal on the front panel is outputted. Specify the level according to the mixer specification. IF 1/2 IN: Select IF Gain from 0 to 36 dB with 1 dB step. Adjust IF gain to get a lower noise level and more stable result. See the table of recommended IF gain setting. Excessive gain setting causes a receiver compression and decrease in accuracy.
When the External Mixer State is turned on, the RF path shows the following diagram.
