tant radio transmitter before connecting the AT-1082/PRC
to the receivcr. Note the direction of the transmitter.
Arrange with the distant transmitting station to turn on its
transmitter long enough to make the AT-1082/PRC tests.
b. TO start the test, set the transmit and receive frequency to 30
MHz. If the tactical situation will not permit this arrange-
Caution: Do not transmit from the radio set connected to the
AT-1082/PRC; damage to the equipment may result.
c. On the receive radio set, make the following adjustments:
(1) Set the volume control for maximum signal output.
(2) set the squelch control, if provided, to off.
