Nick, Read that paragraph with the undertanding that the most important shared circuits are the PLL Reference oscillator, the VCO, and the BFO stages - and they are also measured with the RF Probe even for receiver testing - the VCO and BFO should also be tested for correct frequency using CAL FCTR. Yes, the Bandpass filters, T/R switch, and Low Pass Filters are also shared, but they will be tested with a signal 'the other way 'round' during the steps indicated under Transmit Signal Tracing.
