What should you do to keep your amateur radio station from retransmitting music or signals from a non-amateur radio station?
- A Adjust your transceiver noise blanker
- B Turn down the volume of background audio
- C Turn up the volume of your transmitter
- D Speak closer to the microphone to increase your signal strength
Correct answer: B — Turn down the volume of background audio. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Turning down the volume of background audio stops music or outside broadcasts from being picked up by your microphone and sent out over the air. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
