RF Test Mode
When the PR400 radio is operating in its normal environment, the radio's microcomputer 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 using a special routine, called RF TEST MODE. This mode
allows bench testing of the radio at various test frequencies across the entire band, at both high and
low transmit power (if applicable), at various channel spacings, and with different coded or carrier
squelch types. Any customer specific programming in the radio will not be changed or affected by use
of the RF Test Mode..
