1. For best results, the channel carrier-to-noise ratio should be 40 dl or greater lin a 4 MHz noise

bandwidth).
2. The hum test requires a carrier wave or NTSC signal. It cannot give meaningful results when
a channel uses sync suppression scrambling (unless the measurement is made at the subscriber
terminal output of a descrambler). Measuring hum with video modulation present requires that all
sync tips have the same general level in order to measure their variation.
When the hum test is performed on channels with sync suppression scrambling, it gives completely
meaningless numbers.
