using the radio's PING Menu (Figure 70).

Conducting a Linktest

Only available in packet mode, the primary intent of the Linktest is to
verify that a specific radio's settings are consistent with the initiator
including: assigned frequency, unit number setting, encryption (if
enabled), etc. Also collected at the same time is an indication of link
quality. All radios are always ready to respond to a Linktest message.
Only the initiating radio requires configuration, using the menu shown
in Figure 71.
NOTE: No other data traffic should be active when performing a Link-
test.
