These are all return signals, the impact should be minimal. Work was completed per WP8150
Balun status can be seen here E1900100.
Continuing the Balun exchange program:
We installed new v3 Baluns on the following signals in the CER:

Work was completed per WP8190. WP was modified to reduce impact to the IFO during this weeks maintenance, we did not touch squeezer.
Balun status can be seen here E1900100.
Continuing the Balun exchange Program:
We installed new V3 baluns on the following 45MHz signals in the LVEA:

ISC-R2 (41-2) 45MHz Distribution exchanged v2-DG083 with v3-S094
ISC-R3 (41-3) 45MHz Distribution exchanged v1-145 with v3-S117
Work was completed per WP8200, balun status can be seen here E1900100.
I have attached Insertion Loss and Leakage scans from the old baluns as well as the new ones.

Continuing the Balun exchange Program:
We installed new v3 baluns on the following signals at the PSL racks and at HAM6:
PSL-R2 (18-2) ISS AOM 80MHz exchanged DG-104 with v3-S069
ISC-R3 (41-2) Distribution 4th Harmonic exchanged v1-053 with v3-S160

ISC-R3 (39-4) Distribution 42.2MHz exchanged v1-125 with v3-S060
Work was completed per WP8215, balun status is in the same place it was last week, E1900100.
Attached is a comparision between the balun modified by hand (DG-104), and the new v3 balun which replaced it.

Continuing the Balun exchange Program:
We installed new v3 baluns on the following signals at the PSL racks:
PSL-R2(17-1) FSS Modulation exchanged v1-043 with v3-S157
PSL-R2(17-2) FSS exchanged v1-014 with v3-S093
PSL-R2(17-4) PMC Modulation exchanged v1-021 with v3-S115
PSL-R2(17-5) PMC exchanged v1-050 with v3-S156
PSL-R2(17-6) Injection Locking exchanged v1-084 with v3-S095
ISC-R1(41-2) Distribution JAC Future exchanged v1-159 with v3-S092
** On the last one, the labels on the feed through may be more correct than the DCC. I followed the cable path to the ALS VCO for the PSL.
If it is the ALS VCO, Peter told me that it is possibly 80MHz and in this case the difference between V1 and V3 is about 0.75dB more power, and no measurable difference in phase. The PSL signals being under 45Mhz should be less than 1 degree difference in phase, and less than 0.25dB difference in power.
Work was completed per WP8208, balun status is in the same place it was last week, E1900100.
I have attached insertion loss and leakage scans of v1 vs v3 baluns.
We checked the ISC-R1 (41-2) Balun and determined this signal is the REFL_B demod, 9MHz. There should be very little phase & power difference between V1 and V3 baluns at this frequency.
