Chapter 5 Performance Checks
This chapter covers performance checks used to ensure that the ASTRO APX 2000/ APX 4000/
APX 4000Li 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.
5.1 Test Equipment Setup
Supply voltage can be connected from the battery eliminator. The equipment required for the
