Performance Checks

Introduction
to This Section
This section covers performance checks used to verify the 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 equipment must be maintained in
compliance with the manufacturer’s recommended calibration schedule.
Setup Supply voltage can be connected from the battery eliminator. The equipment
required for alignment procedures is connected as shown in the “Radio
Alignment Test Setup” diagram (page 13, Figure 1).
Initial equipment control settings should be as indicated in the following
table, and should hold for all alignment procedures except as noted in Table 4.
Test Mode
RF Test Mode When the ASTRO Digital XTS 3000 radio is operating in its normal
environment, the radio's microcomputer controls the RF channel selection,
transmitter key-up, and receiver muting. However, when the unit is on the
bench for testing, alignment, or repair, it is removed from its normal
environment. It cannot receive commands from its system and, therefore, the
internal microcomputer will not key the transmitter nor unmute the receiver.
This prevents the use of normal tune-up procedures. To solve this problem a
special routine, called TEST MODE or “air test,” has been incorporated in the
radio.
