Technician exam question T1F10
Subelement T1, COMMISSION’S RULES· Group T1F · 47 CFR §97.205(g)
Who is accountable if a repeater inadvertently retransmits communications that violate the FCC rules?
- A.The control operator of the originating station (correct answer)
- B.The control operator of the repeater
- C.The owner of the repeater
- D.Both the originating station and the repeater owner
WhyThe control operator of the originating station is accountable if a repeater inadvertently retransmits communications that violate the FCC rules. §97.205(g) places accountability for content retransmitted by a repeater on the control operator of the originating station, the person who actually transmitted the rule-violating material into the repeater, not on the repeater's own control operator or owner, who typically can't screen every signal before it's retransmitted, answer A. B, C, and D all wrongly shift responsibility onto the repeater side of the link.
