Using the 9350 Automatic Tuning Whip Antenna with a 2110 Manpack Transceiver
64 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
On-air testing
On-air testing gives a better indication of antenna operation, particularly if the operator is
familiar with the signal strengths normally received within a network. Certain types of
test calls can be used to test the installation.
With on-air testing, the difference in equipment between stations must be taken into
account when determining the quality of the transmission. For example, a 2110 series
Manpack Transceiver mobile station may be in contact with a fixed station using a full-
size antenna and high-power transceiver. Fixed stations sometimes use split sites, where
the receivers are located in a noise-free area, therefore, signal quality is improved
because noise interference is minimised.
