Tom in a lot of cases, the answer would be yes, but you must take into consideration other contributing factors that may distort the result. For instance AGC applied to a reciever stage would reduce the gain of that stage. I have found a great thing to do is to using the equipment you have at hand, ie the XG1, make you own measurements at the points suggested and record them. Walk through the whole procedure doing this. Now you have a baseline for your rig using a specific array of test equipment. Once you have done this, then as you re-align, fix, repair you always will have a reference point utilizing your equipment. You will know whether the performance has been enhanced or degraded. A lot of time we will spin our wheels trying to get some reading in a published procedure that is given to us only as a guideline. You are on the right track. Get familiar with your equipment and keep a log of what you find. You will be rewarded for your efforts. Good Show OM! 73 and Have Fun.
