7. For a VHF or a UHF band transmission, compare the wattmeter’s reading with the target RF output
power range of between 39.8 and 63 watts (50 watts ±1 dB). This transmit output power range
assumes the radio is currently configured for high-power transmit.
For a 700 MHz band transmission, compare the wattmeter’s reading with the target RF output power
range of between 19.8 and 31.4 watts (25 watts ±1 dB). This transmit output power range assumes
the radio is currently configured for high-power transmit.
For an 800 MHz band transmission, compare the wattmeter’s reading with the target RF output power
range of between 27.8 and 44.1 watts (35 watts ±1 dB). This transmit output power range assumes
the radio is currently configured for high-power transmit.
Transmit only for as long as needed to take the measurement, then immediately
disable the transmission.
For 700 MHz band transmissions, if an interoperability channel is selected, the radio
will only transmit with approximately 2 watts of RF output power.
8. If the wattmeter reading is within the range, record the measured value in the appropriate space on
the data collection form near the end of this manual.
If the wattmeter reading is outside the range, verify the radio’s power supply voltage (i.e., battery
voltage) is within the specified range, recheck all connections and measure the RF output power
again. If this fails to produce a reading within the range, replace it and repeat this procedure. If
problems persist, contact the Technical Assistance Center (see page 21).
9. Repeat on test channels within the other RF bands, until at least one channel in all bands has been
tested.
