Q

On the HF radio at the student’s stations, selection of the LSB and Maritime Radio-Telephone operation results in what?

A

The LSB and Maritime Radio-Telephone operation are disabled.

Instead, they connect to USB and A3J modes when selected.

Q

On the CT-142, the volume control is set to what? What does the HF audio output control?

A

Mid range

The output level

18
Q

On the CT-142, if the volume control is set too high what can happen?

A

It can overpower the coupler and affect transmission

19
Q

On the CT-142, the squelch control does what? What is the 402 procedure?
