Explanation

Question 9 of 30

1

Which of the below statements best describe what is de-sensing and how would one confirm the presence of it?

Select one of the following:

De-sensing occurs when a high level RF signal interferes with a receiver's ability to receive a weaker signal. We can check this by turning off the offending repeaters one by one to see which one is causing it.
De-sensing occurs when a high level RF signal is present on the receiving radio's antenna and causes the receiver's RF amplifier to be overloaded resulting in the reduction of measured sensitivity.
De-sensing occurs when a high level RF signal is present on the receiving radio's antenna and causes the receiver's RF amplifier to be overloaded resulting in the reduction of measured sensitivity. The presence can be confirmed by testing the sensitivity via an isolated-tee bridge.
De-sensing occurs when a high level RF signal interferes with a receiver's ability to receive a weaker signal. The presence can be confirmed by testing the sensitivity via an isolated-tee bridge.

Explanation

Question 10 of 30

1

Which one of the below statements best describe how Manual Site Roam works, in IP Site Connect?

Select one of the following:

A button, called Manual Site Roam, can be programmed on the radio. When the user presses this button, the radio will send a wake-up message on all the channels in the roam list. If a repeater is present on that channel, it will respond with a beacon which allows the radio to measure the signal strength. The radio then forms a list of roamed channels and roams to the next available channel.
The radio will use Manual Site Roam when no signal is received while the radio is in a passive roam state. Here the radio will go through all the channels and send a wake -up message. If a repeater is present on that channel, it will respond with a beacon which allows the radio to measure the signal strength. The radio then forms a list of roamed channels and roams to the strongest signal.
None of these describe manual site roaming.
A button, called Manual Site Roam, can be programmed on the radio. When the user presses this button, the radio will send a wake-up message on all the channels in the roam list. If a repeater is within RF range on that channel, it will respond with a beacon which allows the radio to measure the signal strength. The radio then forms a list of roamed channels and roams to the next available channel.

Explanation

Question 20 of 30

1

Select one of the following:

The driver is lying!
The map data is faulty. The customers understanding of GPS orginiates from car navigation systems and expects the tracking application to automatically snap the vehicles position to the nearest road (just like it does in their car navigation system).

Explanation

Question 24 of 30

1

A customer wants to implement MOTOTRBO but they also want to use their analogue two-way radios until they have budget to replace these. They have purchased a repeater and some MOTOTRBO radios.
What can be done in the repeater and radios to support MOTOTRBO and analogue users?
What do we need to be careful about when it comes to the configuration?

Select one or more of the following:

Use Dynamic Mixed Mode
Ensure that the analogue radios use PL
Ensure that in analogue mode, all radios use PL.
Ensure that in analogue mode, the repeater and all radios use PL.
Use PL, but avoid 67,0 and 103,5Hz as these sometimes cause older analogue radios to un-mute to DMR signals.
Use PL (and avoid 67,0 and 103,5Hz) or DPL as provisioning the repeater with CSQ mode may result in it getting stuck in analogue repeat mode during times of interference.
