with regulating interstate and international communications by radio,
television, wire, satellite and cable what does FCC stand for?
1. Federal communications commission
Radio is a means of transmitting information without physical connection
between the sender and receiver
TRUE
What three functions does a transmitter perform
1. Converts words spoken into microphone into signals
2. It conveys an electronic signal to an antenna
3. It broadcast and electric signal to remote receivers
Which ones of the following functions as a receiver perform?
1. A receiver conveys that audible signal to a speaker so a person can hear it
2. A receive captures a radio message
3. Air receiver converts radio messages back into audible voice
Mobile radios are usually cared in the pocket of the user
FALSE
If the telecommunicator release the talk button on the microphone to soon
before the end of the message the result will be which one of the following?
1. Rear end clipping
Select one option from the colour coded strips below then drag and drop it
into the correct colour-coded space to correctly complete the statement
,In the early days of radio, radio messages used dots and dashes. By the 1930s,
public safety agencies could receive radio broadcast on A.M. commercial
stations. Later in a decade, two way radio installed in vehicle improved
communications greatly for responders. Then, in the 1960s, radio became
portable with hand-carried transistor radios.
Telecommunicators are not responsible for the care or maintenance of radio
equipment but they should report a problem if they notice one.
TRUE
The different kinds of radio system used by PSAPS include which two of the
following?
1. Duplex systems
2. Simplex systems
The use of multiple repeater stations extend the range of radio transmission
station
TRUE
"Talkgroups" are frequencies (or channels) that are efficiently share by a
large number of users communicating over virtual channels
TRUE
