Radio Alignment Procedures: Transmitter Alignment Options 5-3
5.3.1 Initial Test Equipment Control Settings
The initial test equipment control settings are listed in Table 5-1. 
5.4 Transmitter Alignment Options
5.4.1 Reference Oscillator Warp
This is an important operation which affects all deviation values such as DTMF, MDC1200 Signaling 
etc. The frequency will drift if not warped properly. Perform this operation prior to all other transmit 
tuning operations in order to minimize heating and because of the impact of warp on signaling 
operations.

Note:
 When checking the RF power output of the radio with a test set, always use a pad of 
at least 30 dB attached to the radio end of the RF cable. This will avoid an RF 
mismatch and ensure a stable RF reading that will not change with varying lengths of 
connecting cable.
