VHF: Power and Range:

Which of the following control selections may result in limited receiving range?

  • Setting the squelch control to its minimum level.
  • Correct Answer
    Setting the squelch control to its maximum level.
  • The power switch is set to the "high" output position, resulting in receiver overloading.
  • Setting the channel selection switch midway between channels 6 and 16.

Much longer than normal VHF transmissions are typically caused by:

  • Correct Answer
    Atmospheric ducting or tropospheric propagation.
  • Changing power from 1W to 25 W.
  • Skywave reflections from the D layer.

Describing VHF transmissions as "line of sight" does not mean:

  • Vessel antenna height will not affect the radius of propagation.
  • The normal transmission range to a coast station is approximately is 10 NM.
  • Coast station antenna height has no effect on the radius of transmission.
  • Correct Answer
    VHF communications are effective only with nearby stations within visual range of the bridge.

The effectiveness of VHF communications is maximized by:

  • Correct Answer
    Appropriate setting of the transmitter power, selecting an appropriate channel & adjustment of squelch for maximum receiver sensitivity.
  • The adjustment of squelch for maximum receiver sensitivity, setting transmitter power to 1W & selecting an appropriate channel.
  • Selecting an appropriate channel, adjustment of squelch for minimum receiver sensitivity & setting transmitter power to 1W.
  • Selecting an appropriate channel, adjustment of squelch for minimum receiver sensitivity, setting transmitter power to 25W.
