If someone tells you that signals from your hand-held transceiver are interfering with other signals on a frequency near yours, what may be the cause?

  • Correct Answer
    Your hand-held may be transmitting spurious emissions
  • You may need a power amplifier for your hand-held
  • Your hand-held may have chirp from weak batteries
  • You may need to turn the volume up on your hand-held

What problem may occur if your transmitter is operated without the cover and other shielding in place?

  • It may transmit a weak signal
  • Correct Answer
    It may transmit spurious emissions
  • It may interfere with other stations operating near its frequency
  • It may transmit a chirpy signal

In Morse code transmission, local RF interference (key-clicks) is produced by:

  • Correct Answer
    the making and breaking of the circuit at the Morse key
  • frequency shifting caused by poor voltage regulation
  • the power amplifier, and is caused by high frequency parasitics
  • poor waveshaping caused by a poor voltage regulator

Key-clicks, heard from a Morse code transmitter at a distant receiver, are the result of:

  • power supply hum modulating the carrier
  • Correct Answer
    too sharp rise and decay times of the carrier
  • sparks emitting RF from the key contacts
  • changes in oscillator frequency on keying

  • sudden movement in the receiver loudspeaker
  • Correct Answer

Key-clicks can be suppressed by:

  • Correct Answer
    inserting a choke and a capacitor at the key
  • turning the receiver down
  • regulating the oscillator supply voltage
  • using a choke in the RF power output

A parasitic oscillation:

  • is generated by parasitic elements of a Yagi beam
  • does not cause any radio interference
  • is produced in a transmitter oscillator stage
  • Correct Answer
    is an unwanted signal developed in a transmitter
