Chapter 4 Recommended Test Equipment and Service
Aids
This chapter provides lists of recommended test equipment and service aids, as well as information
on field programming equipment that can be used in servicing and programming ASTRO XTS 5000
radios.
4.1 Recommended Test Equipment
The list of equipment contained in Table 4-1 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.
