Chapter 4 Performance Checks

4.1

General

These radios meet published specifications through their manufacturing process by utilizing high
accuracy laboratory-quality test equipment. The recommended field service equipment is as accurate
as the manufacturing equipment with few exceptions. This accuracy must be maintained in
compliance with the manufacturer's recommended calibration schedule.
