    • A.

      Increases reply pulse spacing.

    • B.

      Increases antenna rotation rate.

    • C.

      Adjusts output modulation levels.

    • D.

      Inserts random squitter transmissions.

    Correct Answer
    D. Inserts random squitter transmissions.
    Explanation
    The tactical air navigation system, AN/TRN-26, receiver-transmitter holds the average output power level constant by inserting random squitter transmissions. Squitter transmissions are unmodulated pulses that are randomly inserted into the system's output. These random squitter transmissions help maintain a constant average power level by compensating for any fluctuations or variations in the system's output power.
