Anritsu LMR Master S412E with Auto Test and Alignment feature for Motorola APX radios

Anritsu has released its latest advancement in land mobile radio (LMR) radio testing technology, developed in partnership with Motorola. The Auto Test and Alignment feature on Anritsu’s LMR Master S412E — the only test instrument approved by Motorola for both infrastructure (base station) and subscriber (mobile handset) testing — supports Motorola’s APX and APX NEXT P25 radios, providing a comprehensive solution for radio frequency testing across a wide range of applications.

Motorola P25 radios provide critical communications to first responders and security services, and reliable communication in challenging environments requires radio systems that are operating to their peak performance. The Auto Test and Alignment feature provides a fully integrated solution to retune the radios to Motorola’s specification and automate essential measurements on the radio’s RF performance.

Running on a standard Windows PC, the simple one-button test feature initiates retuning of the radio and validation of performance against Motorola’s specification. By automating complex tasks, such as frequency and power measurements, modulation analysis and alignment adjustments, the system enables radio technicians to conduct rigorous testing and alignment procedures with ease and confidence, accelerating the testing process while minimising the margin for error. The software automatically records test records for each radio, providing a fully documented service history.

The feature provides automated testing and alignment to Motorola’s specifications, as it has been approved by Motorola for automated maintenance process. It automatically generates detailed reports after each test and alignment session, providing insights into the radio’s performance and maintenance history. It also offers an enhanced view of each radio’s maintenance records over time, enabling strategic planning and life cycle management. It has been designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind, making it accessible to technicians of all skill levels.
