The only problem I see with not calibrating the LISN is you wouldn't know if / or when it goes bad until you cross check it with a calibrated LISN. I would suggest you run your precompliance lab just like the real lab. This way you'll get the same results as the accredited lab you test with. No

Most analyzers are not CISPR 16 compliant. Receivers are always easer to read QP and Avg. directly. If you can pass the CISPR limits with a peak reading (analyzer), you can most definitely pass the QP / Avg. limits with a receiver. For official testing a compliant (CISPR 16) device is always nee
