While two-way radios are a proven reliable communications asset, they are also a large investment up front. As with many worthwhile investments, following proper care and maintenance procedures helps you get the most out of your purchase. Internal maintenance care can often be overlooked, so to ensure longevity of your radios, it is important to regularly test and tune your equipment.Â
How can I tell if my radio is operating at full capacity?
Tele-Rad uses specialized equipment, specifically the Aeroflex 8800 service monitor, to test radio frequencies and verify that your equipment is functioning at full capacity. For a maximized system performance, a radio’s modulation alignments must be balanced, if they are imbalanced, it can lower performance and accuracy.
How often should I test and tune my equipment?
As recommended by MPSCS, annual preventative maintenance is ideal for mobile, portable, and control station two-way radios. As preventative maintenance, updating firmware is essential to extending the life of your equipment. Fixing bugs, security issues, and glitches will help your device(s) continue to operate reliably. Firmware may extend some new functionality to old hardware, or at least ensure reliable operation, despite its age.
