General
One of the special characteristics of the MSK200 meter is that it is equipped with a
reception section that can be used as a spectrum analyzer and also as a tuner.
When operated as a spectrum analyser a pre-selection utilising fixed broadband
high- and low-pass filters is used. When operated as a tuner the pre-selection is
carried out using automatically tuned selective band-filters. This signal handling
method minimises the number of signals from a broadband cable system that the first
mixer has to cope with and so strengthens the signal immunity.
Nevertheless, it the signal meter must be correctly set up respective both the channel
power or the sum power considering the channel occupancy plan (for one channel,
several channels or for a fully occupied broadband cable system channel plan) to
ensure an optimal reception performance.
