If a ship radio transmitter signal becomes distorted:

🔍 Key Concepts

• Over‑modulation and how it affects signal distortion in radio transmissions • The relationship between audio input level and transmitted signal quality • FCC/ITU good operating practice for correcting a distorted transmitted signal

💭 Think About

• When a signal sounds distorted to others, what part of the system is most likely being driven too hard: the RF power stage or the audio/modulation stage? • Which control can you adjust to clean up the signal while still allowing communication, rather than completely stopping transmission? • Think about what happens if you turn the audio (microphone) level down versus turning the RF power down— which one directly affects distortion of the modulation?.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice directly affects audio/modulation level rather than RF output power or stopping all communication • Check which option aligns with standard advice: "If others report your signal is distorted, first adjust your audio input before changing anything else" • Eliminate any option that would unnecessarily terminate communications unless absolutely required for safety or regulation compliance
