logical it would be high risk without g.inp.
Perhaps I am being thick, but I really can't understand why it should be so problematic for NGA.
Its not a problem for other DLM systems.
NGA DLM needs a serious overhaul and rethink because as it stands its just botched together and too many parts of it don't work as it should. This is just further differentiating the 2 systems and making the divide between ECI & Huawei even greater.
The theory is pretty simple:-
You keep 6dB as default.
If and only if the line is ILQ green for a period of time, then you drop to 5dB.
If the line goes ILQ red then you immediately back out and return to 6dB
If the line goes ILQ amber then you take no action.
If and only if the line is ILQ green for a couple of days then you try 4dB
and so on.
In the meantime what was the ILQ 'doubler' method, but is now something like 2d,10d,24d, 8wk ensures that the line doesnt keep flapping.
