What is a way to enable quick access to a favorite frequency on your transceiver?

• Enable the CTCSS tones
• Store the frequency in a memory channel
• Disable the CTCSS tones
• Use the scan mode to select the desired frequency

What is the purpose of the squelch control on a transceiver?

• To set the highest level of volume desired
• To set the transmitter power level
• To adjust the automatic gain control
• To mute receiver output noise when no signal is being received

Where should the negative return connection of a mobile transceiver's power cable be connected?

• At the battery or engine block ground strap
• At the antenna mount
• To any metal part of the vehicle
• Through the transceiver’s mounting bracket

What is the proper location for an external SWR meter?

• In series with the feed line, between the transmitter and antenna
• In series with the station's ground
• In parallel with the push-to-talk line and the antenna
• In series with the power supply cable, as close as possible to the radio

Which of the following can be used to enter the operating frequency on a modern transceiver?
