  1. The purpose of the final amplifier in a transmitter is to:
    1. increase the frequency of a signal
    2. isolate the multiplier and later stages
    3. produce a stable radio frequency
    4. increase the power fed to the antenna

  2. Harmonics are produced when:
    1. a resonant circuit is detuned
    2. negative feedback is applied to an amplifier
    3. a transistor is biased for class A operation
    4. a sine wave is distorted

  3. The following is installed in the transmission line as close as possible to a HF transmitter to reduce harmonic output:
    1. a middle-pass filter
    2. a low-pass filter
    3. a high-pass filter
    4. a band-reject filter

  4. The following unit in a DC power supply performs a rectifying operation:
    1. an electrolytic capacitor
    2. a fuse
    3. a crowbar
    4. a full-wave diode bridge

  5. In a regulated power supply, 'current limiting' is sometimes used to:
    1. prevent transformer core saturation
    2. protect the mains fuse
    3. minimise short-circuit current passing through the regulator
    4. eliminate earth-leakage effects

  6. The correct order for callsigns in a callsign exchange at the start and end of a transmission is:
    1. the other callsign followed by your own callsign
    2. your callsign followed by the other callsign
    3. your own callsign, repeated twice
    4. the other callsign, repeated twice
