2.7 Performance
After the link is installed, certain performance parameters may be interrogated through
the front panel for verification. Section 4, Operations, contains an LCD Menu Flow
Diagram and other useful information to assist in navigating to the appropriate screen.
2.7.1. Transmitter Performance Check
Use the RADIO TX STATUS screens to check the SL9003Q Transmitter performance
parameters. Fig. 2-5 outlines the navigation to the LCD Screens and gives typical
readings. Be sure to check the Test Data Sheet for the actual factory readings from your
particular unit.
