What minimum qualifications must an amateur radio operator hold to operate cross-band repeaters?
- A Basic with Honours
- B Basic and Morse code
- C Basic and Advanced
- D Basic
Correct answer: D — Basic. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

A Basic Qualification is all you need to operate a cross-band repeater because Canadian rules treat the operator of the repeater and the user of the repeater as having the same minimum requirement: the Basic certificate. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
