Default Re: Kiwi's XPS test results are up.

Will the system hop if it is being interfered with to the point of degrading function if there is a clear (or usable) channel nearby?

Again, thank you for your efforts. They are most definitely pointed in the right direction.

Charlie,

The extremely difficult part here for me is to just touch on the point where reception is being lost by the receiver but not enough to put the unit into fail safe.

In my mind if we go to fail safe before we hop a channel then the system just plain does not work. What would be the sense of a system that cannot move before it gets swamped. There was another video on RCG showing the noise levels being slowly increased until XPS chucked in the towel. That was done with a slowly rising noise floor and a rapid rising noise floor. In both cases the Receiver defaulted to fail safe before being able to get out of the noise.

One of the abilties of my signal generator is it can pulse so it creates a variable noise environment that in my mind should be sufficient to make XPS move if it can move at all.

But as I said above. I can be wrong, maybe it does hop but if someone can show us 100% ON A SCANNER or with some device that proves it moves then I stand corrected.
