A system and method for testing radio coverage of a land mobile radio syste m. The system configuration generally employs a fixed unit, a mobile unit and t he two-way radio system (not part of the invention) subject to testing. The test system and method are compatible with any land-mobile radio system (conventional, trunked, using proprietary or standards-based protocols, FDMA or TDMA) operating in a ny frequency band. One of three methods may be selected to perform testing at a ny one time: continuous testing, grid testing or receive-only testing. In the continuous and grid modes, both the talk-out and talk-in paths are measured. Test results a re recorded in a computer file after being converted to a digital format, and are compar ed to an original "reference file" via the Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) algorithm as defined by ITU-T standard P.862. The PESQ output is then converted to a Delivered Audio Quality (DAQ) score by application of an empirical set of weighting factors to certain of the PESQ parameters.
