For separate transmitters the level is -7 to -10 dB as radiated from the sit=

in the same direction.   A mix system is -15 to -18.   So this is why a=20
separate TX in an AM ATV system goes so much farther.   You can still get so=

lower sideband sound transmitted even with a separate upper sound transmitte=

depending on the amount of sound transmitter energy gets picked up by the vi=

antenna and mixes in the final amp to be re-radiated - intermod.  =20
