3.3.2 RF Test Mode
When the radio is operating in its normal environment, the radio's micro controller controls the RF
channel selection, transmitter key-up, and receiver muting, according to the customer codeplug
configuration. However, when the unit is on the bench for testing, alignment, or repair, it must be
removed from its normal environment via a special routine, called TEST MODE.
In RF Test Mode, the display upon the first line is “RF Test”. The display upon the second line is the
test environment, the channel number and channel spacing. The default test environment is DIG.
