What range of frequencies does the speech amplifier of an amateur radio transceiver typically process?

  1. A300 Hz to 3 000 Hz
  2. B3 Hz to 300 Hz
  3. C300 Hz to 1 000 Hz
  4. D40 Hz to 40 000 Hz

Correct answer: A — 300 Hz to 3 000 Hz. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

Human speech contains most of its intelligible information between 300 hertz and 3 000 hertz, so the speech amplifier in a transceiver is designed to boost only this specific range to ensure clear communication while filtering out unnecessary noise. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
