Transceiver Performance Testing 4-5
4.4 Receiver and Transmitter Performance Tests
The receiver and transmitter performance tests are contained in Tables 4-4 and 4-5 respectively.
Refer to Chapter 5, Figure 5-1, for test equipment setup. Note that all test measurements are taken at
77
°F (25°C) and in conventional or trunked models.
