RecommendedTest Equipment
The list of equipment contained in the table below includes all of the standard test equipment
required for servicing two-way mobile radios, as well as several unique items designed specifically
for servicing the radio. Battery-operated test equipment is recommended when available. The
“Characteristics” column is included so that equivalent equipment may be substituted; however,
when no information is provided in this column, the specific Motorola model listed is either a unique
item or no substitution is recommended.
* Any of the R2000 Series system analyzers will substitute for items with an asterisk (*).
