Two different answers about allowable loss. My line meter is marked in green for 16db, and I always heard that was reliable loss from end to end.
So, what Steve is saying is if the line is flat, then setting for -10dbm @ 1000hz for 3khz deviation and all the rest will line up fine at the repeater end. What is the minimum safe hold tone level at the repeater that will keep it from dropping out on voice peaks? -Tim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of allan crites Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 7:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Tone remote setting question Tim, The AT&T spec for line loss from the sending end to the central office is 9 +- 1 dB and from the central office to the receiving end is 9 +- 1 dB. So your total loss will be 18 +- 2 dB. I need to find my tone remote manual to get the answers to your other questions.

I usually set -10 dbm @ 1000 hz for +/- 3 khz deviation. ). 0 dBm for max deviation. and let the tone levels fall into place as you have indicated. If the line measures 6 db of loss @ 1000 hz, you may want to move the hold tone from -20 dBm to -17 or -14 dBm and the remainder accordingly. Also loss may vary with tone frequency, so loss at 1000 hz may be far different from loss at 2175 hz.
