LEVEL 3: Extra Class License, Exam Requirement: 50-question Extra written exam (Element 4).

General licensees may upgrade to Extra Class by passing a 50-question multiple-choice examination. No Morse code test is required. In addition to some of the more obscure regulations, the test covers specialized operating practices, advanced electronics theory and radio equipment design. Non-licensed individuals must pass Element 2, Element 3 and Element 4 written exams to earn an Extra License. The FCC grants exam element 3 credit to individuals that previously held certain older types of licenses. Find valid forms of Examination Element Credit.

Extra Class Question

E1A

E1A01 - When using a transceiver that displays the carrier frequency of phone signals, which of the following displayed frequencies represents the highest frequency at which a properly adjusted USB emission will be totally within the band?

  • D. 3 kHz below the upper band edge

E1A02 - When using a transceiver that displays the carrier frequency of phone signals, which of the following displayed frequencies represents the lowest frequency at which a properly adjusted LSB emission will be totally within the band?

  • D. 3 kHz above the lower band edge

E1A03 - With your transceiver displaying the carrier frequency of phone signals, you hear a station calling CQ on 14.349 MHz USB. Is it legal to return the call using upper sideband on the same frequency?

  • C. No, the sideband will extend beyond the band edge

E1A04 - With your transceiver displaying the carrier frequency of phone signals, you hear a DX station calling CQ on 3.601 MHz LSB. Is it legal to return the call using lower sideband on the same frequency?

  • C. No, the sideband will extend beyond the edge of the phone band segment

E1B01 - Which of the following constitutes a spurious emission?

  • D. An emission outside its necessary bandwidth that can be reduced or eliminated without affecting the information transmitted

E1B02 - Which of the following factors might cause the physical location of an amateur station apparatus or antenna structure to be restricted?

  • D. The location is of environmental importance or significant in American history, architecture, or culture
