    MicPlexer 3 has dual RF meters displaying the signal strength received at the antenna. Overload Indicator MicPlexer 3 has an overload LED for each antenna input, designed to alert you when the RF signal is too strong. If the signal from transmitters or other sources (e.g., walkie-talkies, mobile devices) overloads the RF amp, it can cause reduced sensitivity and intermodulation interference, affecting receiver performance.
