Which of the following is an example of automatic control?
- A.Repeater operation (correct answer)
- B.Controlling a station over the internet
- C.Using a computer or other device to send CW automatically
- D.Using a computer or other device to identify automatically
WhyRepeater operation is an example of automatic control. §97.3(a)(6) and §97.205(d) define automatic control as operation without a control operator continuously present at the control point, the station's own equipment handles operation according to preset rules, exactly how a repeater works, listening and retransmitting without a person actively monitoring every exchange, answer A. Internet-based control (B) is remote control, a different defined term, and automated CW or automated identification (C, D) are just specific functions a station might perform, not a definition of the control method itself.
