Avionic Test Equipment Knowledge

Below is a list of test equipment that I used to troubleshoot, repair, and align avionic systems both in the shop and on the flight line while performing my duties as an Avionic Navigation/Communications Systems Specialist in the Air Force. In addition to this list I also helped to test an IFF transponder test set developed by Teradyne before it went into production. The test set was advanced from the old UPM-123 because it could be hand held, could be used like a radar gun and the IFF codes could be uploaded in the shop, eliminating the need to carry a KIR along. The nomenclature for the test set was AN/UPM-424.
