Great video. Question; at 24:32, your meter shows a low/high freq range of 261-686 Mhz and you say that the level for the low should be 34 & high at 42 dBmV. My private CATV system has a freq range from 57-567 MHz, what would the proper level be for this range and how do I find that out? Thank you!!

Drill definitely saves time especially in outages

If you follow these steps word for word, you'll probably get fired.

Great video! Could you do a video showing how to balance a technetix line extender with a Viavi meter?

Amazing video! Thank you very informative new coax splicer in training!

Great video and appreciate you covering! Im a new MT and this video will help alot to look back at. I had a question on the S1 switch. After balance in switch one, do you go to switch 2 for manual back off and drop levels by 1.2 db, then go to 3 and raise it up to proper levels from there? We went over this in training but wanted to check on this again. I also gathered from a fellow MT that when your in 2 you turn dism all the way to the left then all the way to right and stop in middle, then adjusted down by 1.2db.

Dude!! Carpe, my man!! This video is great and the view count is proof. I checked out your channel sooo stoked for more great videos but 😢 alas, my hopes and dreams were crushed. An unforgivable act of deficient content that will never be forgotten. 😂😂jk kinda. Great video man. Thanks again.

Thank you Sir! You are awesome! Appreciate you for sharing this with us 👍👍👍

Very nice demo sir🫡. Question though, what is the input level required for that LE? I keep Test Point compensation off on my viavi and add the 20db in my head. I was trained the importance of checking the input levels, adding the 20 to get the level, was to calculate how much level to attenuate at the foward pad so to not over or under cook the hybrid chips that amp the rf. I'm on a high split project in TX atm the LEs need input padded to 14db and Minis to 8db. Any additional level I need to cut to hit my 41db/34db after adjusting the EQ to get a 7db tilt i pad at the interstage.

I do construction atm, would make double if i could balance. Thanks for the tips.

Is that on a high split?

Are you interested in training guys on the high split project

Just wondering why you're doing your setup in thermal and not manual? Also wondering why you're not explaining: the manual backoff (what that's for,) OR the agc padding.

Thank you very much. I am currently working as an assistant and learning how to replace and equalize line and hgd. Could you create a video to teach me how to replace and balance hgd?

The company I work at repaired the 1ghz GMLE lol

This looks super easy after you do it for a few weeks. Moving from fiber construction to coax construction and this is going to be a big part of the job. Balancing and splicing.

I got fired for using some tips from your video

enjoyed the last two videos. i been a service technician for 3 years now and since day 1 my goal has been to join the maintenance team. great to learn a bit more of how the plant system works

Good vídeo! I from Brazil!

Hi. Thanks for the great video. I have a question regarding the readings on your meter. Using the low channel as an example, I see that the output reading is 34 dB, but the test port is -20 dB. Does that mean that the ACTUAL output is 54dB, or does your meter have a setting to compensate for the 20dB-attenuated test port and reading the correct value?

Question, I see lots of those metal boxes various sizes on poles .How do you know which is a Node or amplifier, can you tell just by looking at the box which is which. What the different sizes mean ? I enjoyed the video

Not bad but if the input EQ was directional, it wouldn't fit in backwards. You can still check the reverse slope and EQ it. Even though it looks as if you have only one upstream carrier. If it's a QAM carrier than EQ the ICFR. If it's an OFDMA carrier, same thing, but it's easier to see with other meters that break out all of the frequencies in the OFDMA. Very interesting because it looks as if the plant was only capable of 860 mhz and you are mid staging for an uplift. I've worked on mid split uplifts only, but those are 1.2ghz withfour SC-QAM and one OFDMA carriers in the upstream and 2-3 OFDM carriers in downstream with a pile of SC-QAMs. This year we go high split with 1.8ghz spectrum and prep for DOCSIS 4.0. No more SA or Arris, now just Technetix. All the adjustments you did are done by computer. To change from mid split to high split, I just pull the diplexer cards and put in new ones. Go to the diplexer tab in the software and tell it to operate at 208mhhz and then hit "send to amp". Three seconds later the split is changed. Same with forward and return eqs, padding and AGC (we use two carriers for better accuracy). You can also save the config to your laptop or android phone. You can push the config to any other amp, or reset your settings if you screwed them up.

Very informative!

Y’all have no chemistry
