E8C01 (D)

What digital code consists of elements having unequal length?

A.  ASCII

B.  AX.25

C.  Baudot

D.  Morse code

 

E8C02 (B)

What are some of the differences between the Baudot digital code and ASCII?

A.  Baudot uses four data bits per character, ASCII uses eight; Baudot uses one character as a shift code, ASCII has no shift code

B.  Baudot uses five data bits per character, ASCII uses eight; Baudot uses one character as a shift code, ASCII has no shift code

C.  Baudot uses six data bits per character, ASCII uses eight; Baudot has no shift code, ASCII uses one character as a shift code

D.  Baudot uses seven data bits per character, ASCII uses eight; Baudot has no shift code, ASCII uses one character as a shift code

 

E8C03 (C)

What is one advantage of using the ASCII code for data communications?

A.  It includes built-in error-correction features

B.  It contains fewer information bits per character than any other code

C.  It is possible to transmit both upper and lower case text

D.  It uses one character as a "shift" code to send numeric and special characters

 

E8C04 (B)

What digital communications system is well suited for meteor-scatter communications?

A.  ACSSB

B.  Packet radio

C.  AMTOR

D.  Spread spectrum

 

E8C05 (D)

What type of error control system does Mode A AMTOR use?

A.  Each character is sent twice

B.  The receiving station checks the calculated frame check sequence (FCS) against the transmitted FCS

C.  The receiving station checks the calculated frame parity against the transmitted parity

D.  The receiving station automatically requests repeats when needed

 

E8C06 (A)

What type of error control system does Mode B AMTOR use?

A.  Each character is sent twice

B.  The receiving station checks the calculated frame check sequence (FCS) against the transmitted FCS

C.  The receiving station checks the calculated frame parity against the transmitted parity

D.  The receiving station automatically requests repeats when needed
