A complete potential model for nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung is used to test [ital t] matrices of recent [ital NN] potentials. [ital pp][gamma] and [ital np][gamma] cross sections and spin observables are calculated using the Paris, Bonn-B, and inversion potentials to the most recent phase shift analyses and Bonn-B phase shifts. We confront our results with older noncoplanar [ital pp][gamma] data from Harvard and most recent but inclusive data from Saclay and the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility. We obtain a good agreement between experiment and theory for all potentials. Nonlocality effects of potentials, supposedly discerned by bremsstrahlung, are small in comparison to data errors and differences between the potentials themselves.
