Chapter 5 Performance Checks
This chapter covers performance checks used to ensure that the ASTRO APX 3000 radio meets
published specifications. The recommended test equipment listed in the previous section
approaches the accuracy of the manufacturing equipment, with a few exceptions. Accuracy of the
test equipment must be maintained in compliance with the manufacturer’s recommended calibration
schedule. Checks should be performed if radio performance degradation is suspected.
