Radio Test
The Radio Test functions are a collection of tools useful for testing the RF performance of the
transceiver. It provides a way to key (activate) the transmitter, measure power output, run a spec-
trum test, and enable the built-in RTU simulator.
RTU Simulator
The unit's built-in RTU simulator generates random data similar to what would be supplied by
an external RTU connected to the radio. It is useful for system testing within the radio network
by providing realistic data to pass over the radio channel.

spond to a Link Test message. Only the initiating radio requires configuration when using the
screen and it is only available when operating in packet mode or Packet w/MAC mode.
