Thanks, man. The pony's doing much better now.
I check full scan at each amp first to get an idea of what the scan's doing. We have a bunch of MC2 and FD in our system. You're correct in your rolloff/ pre/post description. I see a lot of it here.
I hit FS, then go to tilt, then single channel for the agc. Some of the guys never go beyond tilt and miniscan. It screws things up and makes their jobs harder. If we miss something, it always comes back to bite us in the ass.
I'm trying to sell them on reverse sweep, explaining that setting return on transmit levels alone is like balancing forward with ch. 60 and trusting that everything else will fall into place.
Our company has tightened up so much on repeat maintenance calls. My supervisor catches the brunt of it and gets stressed. We catch his stress and try to make it better. As it stands, we not only have to make sure we clear the problem the service tech turned in, but everything else we can find. It only makes sense to do that, but it cuts production down some. They'll be gigging us for that next.
