TRANSCEIVER PERFORMANCE TESTING
1.0 General
These radios meet published specifications through their manufacturing process by utilizing high-
accuracy laboratory-quality test equipment. The recommended field service equipment approaches
the accuracy of the manufacturing equipment with few exceptions. This accuracy must be
maintained in compliance with the manufacturer’s recommended calibration schedule.
2.0 Setup
Supply voltage can be connected from the battery eliminator. The equipment required for alignment
procedures is connected as shown in the Radio Tuning Setup diagram (Chapter 4, Figure 4-1).
Initial equipment control settings should be as indicated in the following table and should hold for all
alignment procedures.
