Formula 86A-19 seems incorrect from in the range from 0.2 to 7GHz, should be
= -0.114-0.8914*?f-0.846*f
SuggestedRemedy
Change the + to a -.

There is no limit to the potential increment rate of the PRBS31 checker referenced in
49.2.12.
The checker implementation is difficult to match at high increment rates or in the
prescence of burst errors (the source synchronous descrambler implementation error
multiplication factor depends on burst pattern).
There will be less scope for a complex implementation in a PMA device versus a PCS.
For most practical purposes stringent matching of the 49.2.12 implementation is not
necessary. It would be sufficient to match the result of a 49.2.12 implementation only for
isolated single bit errors and at errors rates less than 1 in a thousand.
SuggestedRemedy
Replace:
(see 49.2.12)
With:
The PRBS31 checker shall match the results of the checker implementation in 49.1.12 for
isolated single bit errors and at errors rates less than 1 in a thousand.
There will be a contribution at the September interim to support this comment

" With the sinusoidal interference and sinusoidal jitter turned off, greater than two thirds of
the dB value of the VECP should be created by the selection of the appropriate bandwidth
for the fourth-order Bessel-Thomson filter."
Provide a range rather than a limit for the Bessel-Thomson Filter contribution
SuggestedRemedy
Change to :
" With the sinusoidal interference and sinusoidal jitter turned off, between 0.6 and 0.7 of the
dB value of the VECP should be created by the selection of the appropriate bandwidth for
the fourth-order Bessel-Thomson filter."

" The sinusoidal jitter added should result in at least 0.05 UI peak to peak DCD."
This is the only indication of a minimum DCD requirement in the draft and is not normative
anyway. This sentence is redundant and should be removed.
SuggestedRemedy
Remove the sentence.
