I've had the occasional board where I got higher modulation speeds at lower tx power, though at least one of them was because I didn't do a great job soldering in new caps.
To lock it at 16 doesn't quite make sense. Seems like you still don't have all of the information. May well be that once you turn the transmit power up and bump the modulation, the unit may start rebooting or knitting sweaters or something crazy. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jaime Solorza To: Animal Farm Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2015 6:42 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 18 GHz update too many hands in the pot.

If they were smart enough to know that dialing down the modulation would help a marginal link, why didn't they know they weren't operating at the licensed power? Something's definitely not right there. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/11/2015 2:24 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: If this is the one with the fading or periodic outages problem, they probably dialed down the modulation hoping it would stay up.
