3. Using an adapter, connect the RF power meter to the SMA connec-
tor on the vertical interface board, key the radio and measure the RF
power.
• If the power registers +39 dBm, the radio board is functioning
correctly.
• If the power registers less than +39 dBm, proceed with Step 4.
4. Use the front panel to switch to the alternate transmitter and again
measure the RF power output.
• If the alternate transmitter registers +39 dBm, the internal
duplexer probably needs replacing.
5. Before replacing the duplexer, verify that the highest or lowest fre-
quencies marked on the duplexer are the same as radio's transmit
and receive frequencies or within the nominal operating range:
100 kHz for 400 MHz radios, and 500 kHz for 900 MHz radios.

slightly, its operation and removal remain the same.

shown in Figure 46 on Page
