Operational Usage
When running a transmitter with DCC, these settings are recommended to optimize power savings versus listener's receiver "signal lock" loss.
- DCC (attack, decay) : instantaneous
- DCC (carrier power suppression): 3dB (for third-hop targets)
- DCC (carrier power suppression): 6dB (for first-hop targets)
Occasional misuses of DCC
- Radio New Zealand International, due to long-term funding problems, has had to resort to using 6db of carrier suppression, making reception in North America difficult.
- DCC can make DXing SW signals more difficult.

Famous quotes containing the word usage:
“...Often the accurate answer to a usage question begins, “It depends.” And what it depends on most often is where you are, who you are, who your listeners or readers are, and what your purpose in speaking or writing is.”
—Kenneth G. Wilson (b. 1923)
