EDACS repeater testing using the
IFR 2945B Communications Service
Monitor
Introduction
The IFR 2945B Communications Service Monitor is ideal-
ly suited to the testing of trunking repeaters. It provides
an extensive array of tests, allowing verification of per-
formance, and rapid diagnosis of faults.
This application note will assist the first time users by lead-
ing them through the initial stages in setting up the 2945B
and testing an EDACS repeater.
The majority of this document is concerned with using the
2945B test set off-air, that is with no physical connection
to the repeater. The limitations of this method will be
explained, but the method does allow rapid set up and
quick verification.
