Performance Figures
TM9400 specifications were derived by measuring
typical performance
and then averaging that measurement across multiple points in each RF
band.
In contrast, all figures quoted as regulatory requirements are
guaranteed

voltage (13.8VDC).
Performance figures quoted as ‘typical’ are generally better than
performance figures quoted as ‘guaranteed minimum’.
Definition of NB and WB
The terms ‘narrow bandwidth’ and ‘wide bandwidth’ are used as follows:
Frequency Bands
Tait uses a unique alpha-numeric code to represent each frequency band.
The frequency codes currently used with the TM9400 series of radios are
listed below. These codes are used throughout this manual.
