Note The +3.6 dBmV digital power rating is nearly the same as the previously measured video carrier level (+4.3 dBmV). This value is too high to provide reliable digital data transmission.

Step 7 Set the upconverter output level so that the amplitude of the digitally modulated carrier is 6 dB to 10 dB below the amplitude found on the same frequency on an analog TV channel.
