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:
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
