Which of the following is a way to determine whether your satellite uplink power into a linear transponder satellite is neither too low nor too high?
Check your signal strength report in the telemetry data
Listen for distortion on your downlink signal
Your signal strength on the downlink should be about the same as the beacon✓Correct answer
Compare your signal to others on the downlink using an internet SDR receiver
Explanation
The beacon is transmitted at a known, appropriate level through the same downlink, so matching your downlink signal strength to the beacon shows you are using a fair share of the transponder and neither wasting the pass with too little power nor stealing power from other users. Telemetry does not report per-user signal reports, and distortion appears only after you are already far too strong.
