    Test Mode Test Mode 4.3.1 RF Test Mode When the radio is operating in its normal environment, the radio’s microcontroller controls the RF channel selection, transmitter key-up, and receiver muting. However, when the unit is on the bench for testing, alignment or repair, it is removed from its normal environment. It cannot receive commands from its system and, therefore, the internal microcontroller will not key the transmitter nor unmute the receiver.
