What is the purpose of a speech processor in a transceiver?

1. A Increase the apparent loudness of transmitted voice signals
2. B Increase transmitter bass response for more natural-sounding SSB signals
3. C Prevent distortion of voice signals
4. D Decrease high-frequency voice output to prevent out-of-band operation

How does a speech processor affect a single sideband phone signal?

1. A It increases peak power
2. B It increases average power
3. C It reduces harmonic distortion
4. D It reduces intermodulation distortion

What is the effect of an incorrectly adjusted speech processor?

1. A Distorted speech
2. B Excess intermodulation products
3. C Excessive background noise
4. D All these choices are correct

What does an S meter measure?

1. A Carrier suppression
2. B Impedance
3. C Received signal strength
4. D Transmitter power output

How does a signal that reads 20 dB over S9 compare to one that reads S9 on a receiver, assuming a properly calibrated S meter?

1. A It is 10 times less powerful
2. B It is 20 times less powerful
3. C It is 20 times more powerful
4. D It is 100 times more powerful

How much change in signal strength is typically represented by one S unit?

1. A 6 dB
2. B 12 dB
3. C 15 dB
4. D 18 dB

How much must the power output of a transmitter be raised to change the S meter reading on a distant receiver from S8 to S9?

1. A Approximately 1.5 times
2. B Approximately 2 times
3. C Approximately 4 times
4. D Approximately 8 times
