NI223Plus 5.1.2 - 11 - Receive Audio Alignment The standard Receive audio alignment procedures should be followed for the NI223Plus installation. With AGC turned OFF, inject a 0dBm test tone into the IP-223 front end and measure the level at the Receive audio test points for line 1 or 2. (TP13 or TP1) The level should be near, but below 0dBm reference from the test point to ground (TP14, near TP13). This should result in audio levels from the iDen® Radio at –5dBm to –10dBm as shown in Figure 9.
