What is the purpose of the "R.I.T." control on a MF/HF transceiver?
• Meaning of the abbreviation R.I.T. in radio operation (think about each word) • Difference between transmit frequency and receiver frequency on a transceiver • Which front-panel controls typically deal with emissions, channels, and tuning
• Ask yourself: Does R.I.T. normally affect what you send out over the air, what you hear coming in, or both? • Look at the choices: Which ones describe functions usually handled by other labeled controls on an MF/HF set (like mode/emission, channel, duplex)? • On many radios, RIT is used when the other station seems slightly off-frequency. Are you adjusting your outgoing signal or just how you tune them in so they sound clearer?
• Be clear on the difference between transmit and receive functions in a transceiver (both in one unit). • Identify which options describe frequency fine-tuning versus mode/emission selection or channel selection. • Recall that paired duplex channels and emissions are usually selected from pre-programmed lists or mode buttons, not from a knob labeled R.I.T.
