EY RF power adjustment (and asst repairs)

(Jax, Daniel)

Today we measured the RF levels in the ISC field and remote racks at EY and set nominal RF values in the MEDM interface. 

Installed attenuators by cable number:

2dB: 

18-1B2 (RF to phase modulator), 18-1, 13B (RF Preamp to Phase/Freq Discriminator), 14-2B (RF to VCO), 19-1 (71 MHz RF Dist. Amp to Oscillator), 14-1 (24.4 MHz RF Dist. Amp to Oscillator)

3dB: 

16-1 (Freq Divider to Phase/Freq Discriminator)

8dB:

17-1 (VCO to Freq Divider)

15 dB*:

18-5B (RF to VCO)

*Here we would have preferred 12 dB to be consistent with EX as per alog 9466, but didn't have one on hand in the big box o' attenuators.

During this process, we discovered the delay line had no output. After cracking it open, we found that one of the ICs (U22) had fried in spectacular fashion - likely a victim of an upside-down power cable at some point. I grabbed a spare (S1103442) from MY, gave it a quick once-over to make sure it works, then installed it at EY.
