Read the signal strength meter (where fitted). 8.8 Demonstrate correct operation of a VHF transmitter/receiver in simplex mode.Controls used shall include frequency, squelch and, audio gain (volume). Know the meaning of signal reports exchanged during a contact. Make a simplex radio contact and exchange signal reports. 8.9 Demonstrate, using an H.F. transmitter/receiver, correct tuning in to an amateur s.s.b voice signal and a Morse signal.
