FM repeater operation on the 2-metre band uses one frequency for transmission and one for reception. What is the standard difference between the transmit and receive frequencies (known as "offset")?
- A400 kHz
- B600 kHz

Correct answer: B — 600 kHz. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
