Regarding TSO installation : are you sure that large FSC obscuration bar is
installed. Sometimes it's lack in the kit..
One another question: do you try different drop drive frequencies. When you
change DD frequency you can see differencies in FSC and SSC signals (On my
TSO best signals are obtained with a drop dive at 56600 for 30 PSI without
large bars. Before I've worked with 53100 DD Freq with large obscuration
bars but FSC signal was lower).
