Technician exam question T4B11
Subelement T4, AMATEUR RADIO PRACTICES· Group T4B
Which of the following must be programmed into a D-STAR digital transceiver before transmitting?
- A.Your call sign (correct answer)
- B.Your output power
- C.The codec type being used
- D.All these choices are correct
WhyYour call sign must be programmed into a D-STAR digital transceiver before transmitting. A D-STAR digital transceiver transmits its programmed call sign as part of every digital transmission, so the call sign must be set before transmitting, answer A. Output power (B) and codec type (C) are radio settings but aren't identification data the D-STAR protocol embeds in the transmission itself, so D, which depends on all three being required, is also wrong.
