Chapter 5 Performance Checks
This chapter covers performance checks used to ensure that the ASTRO APX 1000 radio meets 
published specifications. The recommended test equipment listed in the previous section 
approaches the accuracy of the manufacturing equipment, with a few exceptions. Accuracy of the 
test equipment must be maintained in compliance with the manufacturer’s recommended calibration 
schedule. Checks should be performed if radio performance degradation is suspected.
