Anomalies --------- The X-RCP attenuation was set about 7 dB too low at the ground station, meaning that the analog to digital converter saturated during times when the spacecraft was radiating an unmodulated carrier directly to Earth. MAX SNR for values larger than 67 dB in the table above may be slightly underestimated. Attenuation on the other three channels appears to have been set correctly. Except for calibration of spacecraft radiated power, the measurements should be otherwise unaffected and there should be little or no impact on science.
