selecting the unit’s default setting for Inverted Spectrum, which is simply
“Yes” or “No”.
• For example, when you select the NCTA channel plan, the SDA defaults
to Annex B and defaults to “No” regarding Inverted Spectrum because
the occurrence of spectrum inversion is not anticipated. If spectrum
inversion does occur, however, the setting can be edited to “Yes” on the
Edit Channel screen.
• The PAL-UK channel plan defaults to Annex A and to “Yes” for Inverted
Spectrum because spectrum inversion is anticipated with PAL-UK
channels. All other Base Channel Plans default to “No” for Inverted
Spectrum (because spectrum inversion is not anticipated).
