On-air testing
On-air testing gives a better i
ndication of antenna operation, pa
rticularly if the operator is
familiar with the signal strengths normally r
eceived within a network. Certain types of
test calls can be used
to test the transceiver
.
W
ith on-air testing, the difference in equipm
ent between stations must be taken into
account when determining the quality of the transmission.
