I think 8 or 10 dB above the P band is too high. At that level, I
think it can start contributing noise to P band. I think 0 dB is
OK, but would say to boost anything negative. So shoot for the range
0-7 dB.
My reasoning: with an rms of order 6, the truncation noise in the
A/D is about 18 dB below thermal, and evenly distributed across the
band. So if it is 18 dB below thermal at 4 Band, and P band is 10 dB
below 4, then it is only 8 dB below thermal at P band, which is starting
to pinch.
