StevensOnln1: Hi - I am experiencing serious dropout on the PSB1/BBCA Mux from the Bristol KingsWeston .

Wierd thing is that this is in the middle of the Mux frequencies and I don't have problems with the lower & higher frequencies. In fact the lowest is apparently at 20W but I have a signal strength of 69% but the BBC Mux outputs at 200W but I only have a signal strength of
48%

These are the signal strength readings I am currently seeing

Mux , , MHz, , Strength,
LBS, 30, 546.0, 20W, 69%, 100%
PSB2/D3+4, 40, 626.0, 200W, 70%, 100%
PSB1/BBCA, 43, 650.0, 200W, 48%, 100%
PSB3/BBCB, 46, 674.0, 200W, 66%, 100%
C0M4/SDN, 53, 730.0, 200W, 70%, 100%
COM5/ArqA, 57, 762.0, 200W, 50%, 100%
C0M6/ArqB, 60, 785.8, 200W, 55%, 100%
