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")?
- A 400 kHz
- B 600 kHz
- C 800 kHz
- D 1000 kHz
Correct answer: B — 600 kHz. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
On the 2-metre band, a repeater listens on one frequency and talks on another, with the standard gap between them set at 600 kilohertz. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
