When setting up a trunking network, users with common missions or

functions are assigned as
o A. Nets.
o B. Channels.
o C. Talk groups.
o D. Subscribers.

2. Which of the following describes the common meaning of the term “repeater
offset”?
 The distance between the repeater’s transmit and receive antennas
 The time delay before the repeater timer resets
 The difference between the repeater's transmit and receive frequencies
 The maximum frequency deviation permitted on the repeater's input signal

3. 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?
 Carrier squelch
 Tone burst
 DTMF
 CTCSS

4. Which of the following describes the muting of receiver audio controlled solely
by the presence or absence of an RF signal?
 Tone squelch
 Carrier squelch
 CTCSS
 Modulated carrier

5. 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?
 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
 All of these choices are correct
 7. Which of the following entities recommends transmit/receive channels and
other parameters for auxiliary and repeater stations?

 Frequency Coordinator
 FCC Regional Field Office
 International Telecommunications Union

8. Which of the following stations transmits signals over the air from a remote
receive site to a repeater for retransmission?
 Beacon station
 Relay station
 Auxiliary station
 Message forwarding station

9. What is the function of automatic gain control or AGC?

 A. To keep received audio relatively constant

 B. To protect an antenna from lightning
 C. To eliminate RF on the station cabling
 D. An asymmetric goniometer control used for antenna matching

10. What reading on an SWR meter indicates a perfect impedance match between
the antenna and the feed line?

 A. 2 to 1
 B. 1 to 3
 C. 1 to 1
 D. 10 to 1

11. What happens to power lost in a feed line?

 A. It increases the SWR

 B. It comes back into your transmitter and could cause damage
 C. It is converted into heat
 D. It can cause distortion of your signal
12. What instrument other than an SWR meter could you use to determine if a
feedline and antenna are properly matched?

 A. Voltmeter
 B. Ohmmeter
 C. Iambic pentameter
 D. Directional wattmeter

13. What does a dummy load consist of?

 A. A high-gain amplifier and a TR switch

 B. A non-inductive resistor and a heat sink
 C. A low voltage power supply and a DC relay
 D. A 50 ohm reactance used to terminate a transmission line

14. Which type of modulation is most commonly used for VHF and UHF voice
repeaters?

 A. AM
 B. SSB
 C. PSK
 D. FM

15. What might cause erratic changes in SWR readings?

 A. The transmitter is being modulated

 B. A loose connection in an antenna or a feed line
 C. The transmitter is being over-modulated
 D. Interference from other stations is distorting your signal
