A-005-08: Codes and protocols, Baudot, ASCII, parity, CRC, X.25, ISO layers

A-005-08-01: What digital code consists of elements having unequal length?

Morse code

AX.25

Baudot

ASCII



A-005-08-02: The International Organization for Standardization has developed a seven-level reference model for a packet-radio communications structure. What level is responsible for the actual transmission of data and handshaking signals?

The physical layer

The link layer

The network layer

The transport layer



A-005-08-03: The International Organization for Standardization has developed a seven-layer reference model for a packet-radio communications structure. What level arranges the bits into frames and controls data flow?

The link layer

The synchronization layer

The communications layer

The transport layer



A-005-08-04: What is one advantage of using ASCII rather than Baudot code?

It is possible to transmit upper and lower case text

ASCII includes built-in error correction

ASCII characters contain fewer information bits

The larger character set allows store-and-forward



A-005-08-05: What type of error control system is used in AMTOR ARQ (Mode A)?

The receiving station automatically requests repeats when needed

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

Each character is sent twice

Mode A AMTOR does not include an error control system



A-005-08-06: What error-correction system is used in AMTOR FEC (Mode B)?

Each character is sent twice

Mode B AMTOR does not include an error-correction system

The receiving station automatically requests repeats when needed

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



A-005-08-07: What is the primary advantage of AMTOR over Baudot RTTY?

AMTOR includes an error detection system

Surplus teletype machines that use AMTOR are readily available

Photographs may be transmitted using AMTOR

AMTOR characters contain fewer information bits than Baudot characters



A-005-08-08: We have all used the term ASCII when using computers or teletypewriting equipment. What do those initials represent?

American Standard Code for Information Interchange

A Standard Code for Information Interchange

North American System Compatible with International Interchange

Amalgamated System Code for Information Interchange



A-005-08-09: The designator AX.25 is associated with which amateur radio mode?

packet

RTTY

spread spectrum speech



A-005-08-10: How many information bits are included in the Baudot code?

5

7

8

6



A-005-08-11: How many information bits are included in the ASCII code?

8

7

6

5
