Question
Which of the following is an example of remote control as defined in Part 97?
Answer Options
- A) Repeater operation
- B) Operating the station over the internet
- C) Controlling a model aircraft, boat, or car by amateur radio
- D) All these choices are correct
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The clearest modern example of remote control is operating the station over the internet. In this case, the operator is at a computer (the control point) and is using the internet to send commands to the radio equipment located elsewhere.
Repeater operation is defined as automatic control (T1E08). Controlling a model craft is a specialized control function that is an exception to the identification rules (T1D11), but operating a home station via a wide area network falls under the primary definition of remote control.
