Technician exam question T1D07
Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1D · 47 CFR §97.113(d), 97.201(e)
Which of the following is an example of an auxiliary station?
- A.A station sending one-way transmissions between a remote repeater receiver and the main repeater transmitter (correct answer)
- B.A backup radio for emergency use in case the main station radio fails
- C.A station used in the Military Auxiliary Radio System for linking government and amateur stations in a digital network
- D.A second station utilized in multi-operator contest stations
WhyA station sending one-way transmissions between a remote repeater receiver and the main repeater transmitter is an example of an auxiliary station. §97.113(d) and §97.201(e) define an auxiliary station as one used for one-way (or point-to-point) links that support a repeater system, most commonly relaying signal from a remote receiver site back to the main repeater transmitter, answer A. A backup radio (B), a MARS linking station (C), and a second contest operating position (D) are all real things in amateur radio, but none of them match this specific technical definition.
