Subelement T7, PRACTICAL CIRCUITS· Group T7B
What might be a problem if you receive a report that your audio signal through an FM repeater is distorted or unintelligible?
- A.Your transmitter is slightly off frequency
- B.You are speaking too loudly or too close to the microphone
- C.You are in a bad location
- D.All these choices are correct (correct answer)
WhyA distorted or unintelligible audio report through an FM repeater might mean your transmitter is slightly off frequency, you're speaking too loudly or too close to the microphone, or you're in a bad location. An off-frequency transmitter, a microphone held or spoken into incorrectly, and a weak signal from a poor operating location can each independently make audio through an FM repeater sound distorted or unintelligible, so all three are plausible causes, answer D. Picking just one of A, B, or C would rule out the other equally valid explanations for the report.
