    Downstream signals are low / too low

    Downstream Power Levels should be -7 to + 7 dBmV for optimal performance.

    The 3.0 Downstream are approaching -7 and channels # 30 to 32 are just below the -7 dBmV mark,
    there is a smattering of Post RS errors across all channels.

    32387000000-7.239QAM 25632



    The 3.1 Downstream channel is considerably worse at -12.3 dBmV,     ( vs -7 to + 7 preferred )
    as this is a logarithmic scale the received power is well below normal & is resulting in Uncorrectable errors.
