I also have a xcvr2450 that won't lock sometimes. This is at 2.4GHz. Also an issue about IQ imbalance: I am measuring IQ imbalance. The values are generally quite good. However, one thing I don't understand is that the mirror frequency doesn't turn up on exactely "-f" but a few Hertz off. I do

Hi Matt >Yes, -9 dBm is safe. Glad to know it was all safe re input levels. >I have not seen the problem locking without trying a lower frequency. >What if you try 5 GHz twice in a row? The problem with the not locking to 5G is very intermittent. A few times when it did occur, I tried your sug
