G2E01:
Which mode is normally used when sending RTTY signals via AFSK with an SSB transmitter?
- USB
- DSB
- CW
- LSB
G2E02:
How can a PACTOR modem or controller be used to determine if the channel is in use by other PACTOR stations?
- Unplug the data connector temporarily and see if the channel-busy indication is turned off
- Put the modem or controller in a mode which allows monitoring communications without a connection
- Transmit UI packets several times and wait to see if there is a response from another PACTOR station
- Send the message, "Is this frequency in use?"
G2E03:
What symptoms may result from other signals interfering with a PACTOR or WINMOR transmission?
- Frequent retries or timeouts
- Long pauses in message transmission
- Failure to establish a connection between stations
- All these choices are correct
G2E04:
What segment of the 20-meter band is most often used for digital transmissions (avoiding the DX propagation beacons)?
- 14.000 - 14.050 MHz
- 14.070 - 14.112 MHz
- 14.150 - 14.225 MHz
- 14.275 - 14.350 MHz
G2E05:
What is the standard sideband used to generate a JT65, JT9, or FT8 digital signal when using AFSK in any amateur band?
- LSB
- USB
- DSB
- SSB
G2E06:
What is the most common frequency shift for RTTY emissions in the amateur HF bands?
- 85 Hz
- 170 Hz
- 425 Hz
- 850 Hz
G2E07:
What segment of the 80-meter band is most commonly used for digital transmissions?
- 3570 - 3600 kHz
- 3500 - 3525 kHz
- 3700 - 3750 kHz
- 3775 - 3825 kHz
G2E08:
In what segment of the 20-meter band are most PSK31 operations commonly found?
- At the bottom of the slow-scan TV segment, near 14.230 MHz
- At the top of the SSB phone segment, near 14.325 MHz
- In the middle of the CW segment, near 14.100 MHz
- Below the RTTY segment, near 14.070 MHz
G2E09:
How do you join a contact between two stations using the PACTOR protocol?
- Send broadcast packets containing your call sign while in MONITOR mode
- Transmit a steady carrier until the PACTOR protocol times out and disconnects
- Joining an existing contact is not possible, PACTOR connections are limited to two stations
- Send a NAK response continuously so that the sending station must stand by
G2E10:
Which of the following is a way to establish contact with a digital messaging system gateway station?
- Send an email to the system control operator
- Send QRL in Morse code
- Respond when the station broadcasts its SSID
- Transmit a connect message on the station's published frequency
G2E11:
Which of the following is characteristic of the FT8 mode of the WSJT-X family?
- It is a keyboard-to-keyboard chat mode
- Each transmission takes exactly 60 seconds
- It is limited to use on VHF
- Typical exchanges are limited to call signs, grid locators, and signal reports
G2E12:
Which of the following connectors would be a good choice for a serial data port?
- PL-259
- Type N
- Type SMA
- DE-9
G2E13:
Which communication system sometimes uses the internet to transfer messages?
- Winlink
- RTTY
- ARES
- SKYWARN
G2E14:
What could be wrong if you cannot decode an RTTY or other FSK signal even though it is apparently tuned in properly?
- The mark and space frequencies may be reversed
- You may have selected the wrong baud rate
- You may be listening on the wrong sideband
- All these choices are correct
G2E15:
Which of the following is a requirement when using the FT8 digital mode?
- A special hardware modem
- Computer time accurate within approximately 1 second
- Receiver attenuator set to -12 dB
- A vertically polarized antenna
