GTR 8000 Base Radio
5.10.4 Verifying Receiver Performance (Analog Operation)
When and where to use:
Use this procedure to verify receiver performance by measuring the receiver sensitivity (SINAD) for an analog
base radio.
This procedure uses an internal SINAD in the base radio. If a field technician chooses to use a service
monitor as an external SINAD meter, see “SINAD Measurement Procedure (measured by Service
Monitor)” within Base Radio Service Help -> Service Screens > Alignment Screens > Carrier Squelch
Alignment Tab in the
CSS Online Help
.
Procedure Steps
1
Connect to the transceiver module in CSS through an Ethernet connection. See

Alignment Screen
as described in
4
Select the
Carrier Squelch Alignment
tab.
5
Make the following connections to the base radio:
a. Disconnect the BNC antenna cable or N connector if a preselector is present from the Receive Antenna Port.
b. Connect the service monitor GEN port to the base radios Antenna Port with a BNC connector.
6
Set up the service monitor.
a. For 25 kHz channels, set the modulation to 1 kHz tone at 3 kHz deviation.
b. For 12.5 kHz channels, set the modulation to 1 kHz tone at 1.5 kHz deviation.
c. Set the service monitor to generate at the receive frequency.
d. Set the RF level an initial value of –80 dBm.
7
To measure 25 kHz channel SINAD, click
25 kHz
. To measure 12.5 kHz channel SINAD, click
12.5 kHz
.
8
Select the
SINAD measurement
box.
