Transceiver Performance Testing 4-7

4.4 Receiver Performance Tests

The receiver and transmitte r performance test s are cont ained in Table 4- 5 and Tabl e 4-6 resp ectively.
Refer to Chapter 5, Figure 5-1 on page 5-2, for test equipment setup. Note that all test measurements
are taken at 77°F(25°C) and in conventional or trunked models.
