A distant station asks for a signal report on a local repeater you monitor. What do you report?
- A The quality of the station's signal and audio as heard through the repeater
- B Your S-meter reading on the repeater output frequency
- C Your S-meter reading on the repeater input frequency
- D The readability and strength of the repeater signal
Correct answer: A — The quality of the station's signal and audio as heard through the repeater. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
When a distant station asks for a report on a local repeater, you are acting as a listener for them, so you must describe exactly how their voice sounds after the repeater has processed it. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
