David,

It is just a coupler - nothing else makes sense for that use, so your -60dB assumption is correct. Yes, it is relative to the output, so dBm is not the proper designation.

I am trying to get ready for delivery of the KPA1500 and have become confused about the information available for the TX Sample port.

The only information I can find states that this is a low-level signal of -60dBm but dBm is a measure of absolute power which would put this signal at 1 nanowatt.

My first thought is that this is a typo and meant to show that the signal level on the port is -60dB with respect to output but need some verification.
