- SSB transmissions:
- occupy about twice the bandwidth of AM transmissions
- contain more information than AM transmissions
- occupy about half the bandwidth of AM transmissions
- are compatible with FM transmissions
- Harmonics are produced when:
- a resonant circuit is detuned
- negative feedback is applied to an amplifier
- a transistor is biased for class A operation
- a sine wave is distorted
- A low-pass filter is used in the antenna lead from a
transmitter:
- to reduce key clicks developed in a CW transmitter
- to increase harmonic radiation
- to eliminate chirp in CW transmissions
- to reduce radiation of harmonics
- The following could power a solid-state 10 watt VHF
transceiver:
- a 12 volt car battery
- 6 penlite cells in series
- a 12 volt, 500 mA plug-pack
- a 6 volt 10 Amp-hour Gel cell.
- The block marked 'Filter' in the diagram is to:
- filter RF radiation from the output of the power supply
- smooth the rectified waveform from the rectifier
- act as a 50 Hz tuned circuit
- restore voltage variations
- The accepted way to announce that you are listening to
a VHF repeater is:
- "hello 6695, this is ZL2ZZZ listening"
- "calling 6695, 6695, 6695 from ZL2ZZZ"
- "6695 from ZL2ZZZ"
- "ZL2ZZZ listening on 6695"
