  1. To obtain high frequency stability in a transmitter, the VFO should be:
    1. run from a non-regulated AC supply
    2. in a plastic box
    3. powered from a regulated DC supply
    4. able to change frequency with temperature

  2. A harmonic of a signal transmitted at 3525 kHz would be expected to occur at:
    1. 3573 kHz
    2. 7050 kHz
    3. 14025 kHz
    4. 21050 kHz

  3. Parasitic oscillations tend to occur in:
    1. high voltage rectifiers
    2. high gain amplifier stages
    3. antenna matching circuits
    4. SWR bridges

  4. The capacitor value best suited for filtering the output of a 12 volt 1 amp DC power supply is:
    1. 100 pF
    2. 10 nF
    3. 100 nF
    4. 10,000 uF

  5. The block marked 'Regulator' in the diagram is to:
    1. regulate the incoming mains voltage to a constant value
    2. ensure that the output voltage never exceeds a dangerous value
    3. keep the incoming frequency constant at 50 Hz
    4. keep the output voltage at a constant value

  6. The correct phonetic code for the callsign VK5ZX is:
    1. victor kilowatt five zulu xray
    2. victor kilo five zulu xray
    3. victor kilo five zanzibar xray
    4. victoria kilo five zulu xray
