•! Link might be affected or even down due to number of reasons. To find the cause of the problem, it sometimes might be a question of hours, if not – days.

•! The following troubleshooting can be completed with Spectrum Compact: –! Near and far site transmitter verification –! Detection of improper radio and antenna interconnection –! Investigate reasons of low RSL:

•! Antenna misalignment (side lobes, etc.) •! Wrong polarization •! Damaged antenna •! Damaged transmitter

–! Damaged receiver –! Multipath detection –! Interference detection
