following procedure:
MODULATOR/DEMODULATOR FREQUENCY CALIBRATION
Here we present you with two (2) Modulator and Demodulator Calibration. Calibration
Method I requires test equipment as noted, and is the most accurate. Calibration Method II
does not require test equipment, and is meant for those who do not have test equipment.
Calibration Method I
