On the Repeater set the Receiver’s Controls as follows:
9. Set power to ON.
10. If required, disable the COR (Carrier Operated Relay) or equivalent device
that keys the transmitter when a signal is present at the receiver.
11. If required, set frequency to the same value as step 5..
12. Set squelch to minimum.
13. Set RF Gain to maximum (if equipped).
14. Set coded squelch feature (if equipped) to OFF.
Failure to set coded squelch to off will cause the SINAD measurement to
be incorrect.
15. Slowly increase volume control until the AC Level reads 100% of the
Receiver’s rated audio output power.
Refer to audio output specifications for the Receiver being tested as
required.
If desired, use the meter averaging function for the SINAD indicator.
a. Select dB on the SINAD meter.
b. Press the AVG key.
If desired, select the number of readings to average.
Enter the number of readings to average.
Higher number of readings averaged will require longer to
reach the final indication.
16. Key the Transmitter by enabling the COR or equivalent.
