Which of the following emission modes requires that an amateur radio station have means to prevent or indicate overmodulation?

  1. ACW
  2. BRTTY
  3. CFM
  4. DSSB

Correct answer: D — SSB. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

SSB, or single sideband voice, requires a way to stop or show overmodulation because pushing the signal too hard distorts the audio and splatters interference onto nearby frequencies. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
