T2B01: What is the term used to describe an amateur station that is transmitting and receiving on the same frequency?

Simplex communication

Full duplex communication

Diplex communication

Half duplex communication



T2B02: What is the term used to describe the use of a sub-audible tone transmitted with normal voice audio to open the squelch of a receiver?

CTCSS

Carrier squelch

Tone burst

DTMF



T2B03: Which of the following describes the muting of receiver audio controlled solely by the presence or absence of an RF signal?

Carrier squelch

Tone squelch

CTCSS

Modulated carrier



T2B04: Which of the following common problems might cause you to be able to hear but not access a repeater even when transmitting with the proper offset?

All of these choices are correct

The repeater receiver requires audio tone burst for access

The repeater receiver requires a CTCSS tone for access

The repeater receiver may require a DCS tone sequence for access



T2B05: What determines the amount of deviation of an FM signal?

The amplitude of the modulating signal

Both the frequency and amplitude of the modulating signal

The frequency of the modulating signal

The relative phase of the modulating signal and the carrier



T2B06: What happens when the deviation of an FM transmitter is increased?

Its signal occupies more bandwidth

Its output power increases

Its output power and bandwidth increases

Asymmetric modulation occurs



T2B07: What should you do if you receive a report that your station’s transmissions are causing splatter or interference on nearby frequencies?

Check your transmitter for off-frequency operation or spurious emissions

Increase transmit power

Change mode of transmission

Report the interference to the equipment manufacturer



T2B08: What is the proper course of action if your station’s transmission unintentionally interferes with another station?

Properly identify your transmission and move to a different frequency

Rotate your antenna slightly

Increase power

Change antenna polarization



T2B09: Which of the following methods is encouraged by the FCC when identifying your station when using phone?

Use of a phonetic alphabet

Send your call sign in CW as well as voice

Repeat your call sign three times

Increase your signal to full power when identifying



T2B10: What is the "Q" signal used to indicate that you are receiving interference from other stations?

QRM

QRN

QTH

QSB



T2B11: What is the "Q" signal used to indicate that you are changing frequency?

QSY

QRU

QSL

QRZ
