Note 1:  Parameters given by ATN are always in the format required for the Scientific Atlanta receivers.   Users of other receivers may need to convert the parameters (such as Frequency and Symbol Rate).  In many other receivers space is allowed for only 5 or 6 digits and no decimal point is shown.  In such cases, the first 2 digits are usually before the decimal point.   [Example:  A frequency of 3.49650 would be entered on other receivers as 03496]
