Probably shouldn't need any teste equipment unless its broken and
needs to be repaired and tuned. If you want to check the sensitivity
of the receiever, look for an HP 606 signal generator.

At the hamfest, I'd suggest picking up a good SWR/power meter,
dummy load that will handle at least 100 watts (cantenna will work great),
and an antenna switch.

Alright, I am really utilizing these newsgroups for the upcoming hamfest.
Just
picked up a ts-820s. Looking forward to receiving it and reading the
manuals
before operation. (Sometimes I wonder if XYL has influenced me with
that). I
would like to know some testing equipment I will need to get this rig in
flight
so that I can pick them up at the hamfest. I was reading some posts that
talk
about tuning the rig and it sounds like fun, albeit treated with respect
like
all high power electronics, but also more than a simple voltmeter will be
needed. Any suggestions?
