If you are operating simplex on a repeater frequency, why would it be good practice to change to another frequency?

1. A Because changing the repeater's frequency requires the authorization of Innovation, Science and Economic
2. B Because you may interfere with users of the repeater
3. C Because the repeater's output power may overload your receiver
4. D Because there are more repeater operators than simplex operators

Correct answer: B — Because you may interfere with users of the repeater. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Using a repeater frequency for simple direct communication blocks others who need that channel to relay their signals through the repeater, causing unnecessary interference. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
