[time-nuts] AMU vs dBc

[Mark Sims]

Alas,  there is no way to get a direct conversion between AMU and dBc.  What you have to do is display the signal levels in dBc and then switch the unit to AMU.  It takes it a couple of seconds before it switches.  By then the signal levels have changed,  so that the data is only approximate.  The lower signal levels seem to change the most so I have been unable to get any reliable/repeatable readings.

Even setting the AMU mask level and watching where sats turn yellow/green does not work well.  There appears to be some hysterisis/filtering/delay in the selection/deselection process.

----------------
Can you also see what  0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, 3.0  are equal to.
Those are the important ones when setting the AMU lower.
