How is the frequency verified during maintenance checks for VIDS?

The frequency is verified during maintenance checks for VIDS by plugging an aux into the VHF or UHF jacks. This method allows technicians to directly interface with the equipment, ensuring that the correct frequencies are being utilized and that the system is functioning properly.

By connecting an auxiliary device, technicians can effectively measure and confirm that both the Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) bands are operational and calibrated to the necessary specifications. This hands-on approach helps in diagnosing any potential issues with frequency transmission or reception directly within the system.

The other methods mentioned might be useful in different contexts, but they do not provide the same level of direct verification regarding the operating frequency during maintenance checks. Server logs, while informative for tracking usage or errors, do not specifically verify operational frequency at the time of checking. Running a visual diagnostics test may indicate general system health but does not ascertain frequency accuracy specifically. Using a remote control unit could allow for some level of oversight, but it wouldn’t confirm frequency output in the same effective manner as connecting directly through the VHF or UHF jacks does.
