Re: Forward Path Attenuators

An attenuator by definition ADDs resistance to the line. You need the line fixed, more than a 3 db swing in 24 hours is a problem. A broken or loose connector, short center conductor, or cracked cable will commonly cause the symptoms you see.

unfortunately, the cable box that has the neightborhood connections is in my front lawn and I believe that COX gets into that box often. I checked/reseated the cables ihn the box at the side of my house and replaced the cable going to my cable modem. I guess I'll have to grin and bear the cable company technician coming out again. Surprisingly, my upstream power level is at 58 dbmV as I type this message. I wonder why I'm still connected.
