Under revision Make sure that radio failure is not due to an external failure, for example, antenna circuit VSWR. If the internal fault condition is still displayed, return the radio to Northrop Grumman, see Park Air Services. Notes: A radio whose Service Status changes to No Service, automatically becomes Inactive. The faulty radio drops its SIP session in accordance with ED-137. Transmit operation is inhibited when the radio is Inactive. 5.3 Fan replacement To replace the fan: (1) Switch off the radio.
