of the screen as highlighted in figure 19 below. This will open up the window shown in figure 20.
Select the appropriate IM Frequency (“allowed values” are shown in “Green” text), and press the
“OK” button. Note that the IM frequencies listed in “red” text are out of valid range for that band,
hence, not “selectable.” If the IM frequencies showing are not acceptable, then change the F1
and F2 frequencies as needed to achieve the desired acceptable IM order and IM frequency.
Note: pressing a value which is shown in red and clicking the “OK” button will give the user a
popup window indicating “IM Not Valid” “Please Try Again.
