3.6.3 Setting Power Output
The power output of your STRATA TX System can be set by
controlling the attenuation, in dB, from either the TXU or TCU
front panel.
Note
Maximum power output occurs with 0 dB of
attenuation selected. Attenuation levels from 0 dB
to -31 dB may be selected in 1 dB increments.
To select power output attenuation, perform the following steps:
1. Verify the STRATA TX System is connected and
powered up. See ”Powering the STRATA TX System”
on page 3-12.
2. Observe the Main screen is displayed. See Figure 3-
