Correct Answer
A. They are a constant distance away form each otherExplanation
When no frequency shift between the transmitter/receiver and the aircraft can be measured in a frequency-shift radar system, it indicates that they are a constant distance away from each other. This means that there is no change in the frequency of the radar signal as it is reflected back from the aircraft. This could occur when the aircraft is stationary or moving directly towards or away from the transmitter/receiver, resulting in a constant distance between them. It suggests that there is no relative motion between the two entities.Rate this question:

- C.
The aircraft is flying away from the transmitter receiver
Correct Answer
B. The aircraft is flying towards the transmitter receiverExplanation
When the received frequency is higher than the transmitted frequency in a frequency-shift radar system, it indicates that the aircraft is flying towards the transmitter/receiver. This is because when an object is moving towards the radar system, the frequency of the reflected radar pulses increases due to the Doppler effect. Therefore, the higher received frequency suggests that the aircraft is approaching the transmitter/receiver.Rate this question:

In a frequency-shift radar system, what is the relationship between a transmitter/receiver and an aircraft when the received frequency is lower than the transmitted frequency?
- A.
The aircraft is not reflecting any of the RDR pulses
- B.
The aircraft is flying towards the RT
- C.
The aircraft is flying away from the RT
Correct Answer
C. The aircraft is flying away from the RTExplanation
When the received frequency is lower than the transmitted frequency in a frequency-shift radar system, it indicates that the aircraft is flying away from the radar transmitter (RT). This is because the frequency shift occurs due to the Doppler effect, where the frequency of the signal changes based on the relative motion between the transmitter/receiver and the aircraft. A lower received frequency suggests that the aircraft is moving away from the radar, causing a decrease in the frequency of the reflected signal.Rate this question:

When two signals are received simultaneously on the same operating net, the HAVE QUICK II radio automatically goes into conferencing by
- A.
Resetting the net number for communication
- B.
Setting the receiver to narrowband reception
- C.
Offsetting the second transmitter frequency by 25Khz
Correct Answer
C. Offsetting the second transmitter frequency by 25KhzExplanation
When two signals are received simultaneously on the same operating net, the HAVE QUICK II radio automatically goes into conferencing by offsetting the second transmitter frequency by 25Khz. This means that the second transmitter's frequency is adjusted by 25Khz to avoid interference and allow for clear communication. This offsetting helps to separate the two signals and ensure that they can be received and understood without interference or overlap.Rate this question:

- A.
Is more convenient for maintenance
- B.
Can be used with a remote channel indicator
- C.
Reduces cost by using existing aircraft wiring
Correct Answer
C. Reduces cost by using existing aircraft wiringExplanation
The advantage of the remote HAVE QUICK II configuration over the panel-mount configuration in an aircraft is that it reduces cost by using existing aircraft wiring. This means that there is no need for additional wiring installation, saving both time and money. The remote configuration utilizes the existing wiring infrastructure of the aircraft, making it a more cost-effective option compared to the panel-mount configuration.Rate this question:

The an/arc-210 receiver/transmitter does not provide
- A.
Half-duplex, two way communications of normal and secure voice amplitude-modulated signals
- B.
Receiver-only mode of operation of normal and secure voice from 108.000 to 117.975 Mhz amplitude modulated
- C.
Transmit-only mode of operation of normal and secure voice from 108.000 to 117.9975 Mhz amplitude modulated
Correct Answer
C. Transmit-only mode of operation of normal and secure voice from 108.000 to 117.9975 Mhz amplitude modulatedExplanation
The correct answer is "transmit-only mode of operation of normal and secure voice from 108.000 to 117.9975 Mhz amplitude modulated." This means that the an/arc-210 receiver/transmitter is capable of transmitting normal and secure voice signals in the specified frequency range using amplitude modulation. However, it does not provide the capability for half-duplex, two-way communications or receiver-only mode of operation.Rate this question:
