Portable and Rugged
The 3500 Radio Test Set was designed from the ground up to be
portable and rugged, weighing in at only 8.5 lbs. including the battery. It has a solid aluminum weatherproof case, an operating temperature range of -10° to +50° C, and rugged construction specifications for humidity, altitude, shock, and vibration. The battery
gives the user 5 hours of operation and can be fully re-charged and
ready to operate in only 4 hours. In addition, the 3500 and the
optional accessories can be stored in a ruggedized transport case.
Quick Drive By Testing To Isolate Radio Installation Failures
Designed to be used for quick Drive By Testing , the 3500 can efficiently and easily find radio failures. There is no need to connect to
the radio under test, simply connect the supplied antenna, key up the
radio and then measure the radio parameters over-the-air. A handset
is provided to check voice quality of the transmitter and receiver.
Isolate Cable and Antenna Problems
Since many radio faults lie in the cabling and/or antenna and not with
the radio, the 3500 includes the capability to measure the VSWR of
