Performing a walk test – RF level recorder
1. Switch on sources of interference
and other transmission links.
7. Perform the walk test; the antenna signals and the diversity evaluation are
recorded for each channel.
½
Use one or several transmitters to walk-test the operating environment.
If necessary, set markers (SKM 9000 COM or SK 9000 with KA 9000 COM).
2. Call up the “ch” operating mode.
