Ratings and reviews

15 years in HFC/OSP maintenance. Always loved the pocket guide. Love the app too. It would be great if you guys made an app where you selected your setout channels and system outputs and then used the data you already have here to be able to determine levels anywhere in your system. Like Load Data... but, you know, not from 1980. Just an idea.

Decently navigable, accurate, and up to date. Good for my design and troubleshooting needs.

Not bad needs a better search for those emergency STFU and do it right situations.
