Deep Dive: E2B09
The correct answer is D: SSB. What kind of receiver can be used to receive and decode SSTV using the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) protocol is SSB. SSB receivers can receive and decode SSTV using DRM protocol. For amateur radio operators, this is important for SSTV operation. Understanding this helps when operating SSTV.
Why Other Answers Are Wrong
Option A (CDMA): Incorrect. CDMA isn't a receiver type for SSTV/DRM - SSB receivers are used. CDMA isn't the receiver. Option B (AREDN): Incorrect. AREDN isn't a receiver type - it's a mesh network protocol, not a receiver. AREDN isn't the receiver. Option C (AM): Incorrect. AM receiver isn't used for SSTV/DRM - SSB receivers are used. AM isn't the receiver.
Exam Tip
SSTV/DRM receiver = SSB. Think 'S'STV/'D'RM = 'S'SB receiver. SSB receivers can receive and decode SSTV using DRM protocol. Not CDMA, not AREDN, not AM - just SSB.
Memory Aid
SSTV/DRM receiver = SSB. Think 'S'STV/'D'RM = 'S'SB. SSB receivers can receive and decode SSTV using DRM protocol. Important for SSTV operation.
Real-World Example
SSTV using Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) protocol: An SSB (Single Sideband) receiver can be used to receive and decode the signal. DRM is a digital audio broadcasting standard that can be received with SSB receivers. This is the receiver type - SSB receivers are used for SSTV/DRM.
