-The main thing is that the target power levels, once DBBC is set up and levels reported by fs command iread [[operations:​documentation.dbbcsetupivs_v2|here ]] are OK! If values aren't as above but power levels are attained without radical attenuation,​ then all is well.+Check the crossover switch ​and attenuator settings via the [[operations:​starting_sysmon|System Monitor GUI]].
