FINAL ASSEMBLY TESTING PROCEDURES
In addition to the checks, tests, adjustments, measurements and calibrations the
individual PCBs go through, each fully assembled radio is also thoroughly tested before
being sent out to the customer. Though the actual tests are long and detailed, a listing of
the tests performed before any SG-2000 is shipped to a customer will indicate our
commitment to providing the best radio possible.
