Equipment
The list of equipment contained in Table 2 includes all of the standard test 
equipment required for servicing two-way portable radios, as well as several 
unique items designed specifically for servicing this family of radios. The 
“Characteristics” column is included so that equivalent equipment may be 
substituted; however, when no information is provided in this column, the 
specific Motorola model listed is either a unique item or no substitution is 
recommended.
Service Aids  Refer to Table 3, “Service Aids,” for a listing and description of the service aids 
designed specifically for servicing this family of radios. These kits and/or parts 
are available from the Motorola Parts Division offices listed in the 
“Replacement Parts Ordering” section located on the inside back cover of this 
manual. While all of these items are available from Motorola, most are 
standard shop equipment items, and any equivalent item capable of the same 
performance may be substituted for the item listed.
