Similarly to your Foundations course, there are some hands-on tasks that will require adequate understanding and demonstration to an RSGB-approved registered assessor: | |||
* 10d.1 Measure the resistance of a number of different resistors and confirm their values using the colour code | |||
* 10d.2 Demonstrate the ability to make good soldered joints. | |||
* 10d.3 Construct a simple circuit containing a battery, resistor, LED, lamp, and switch. | |||
* 10d.4 Measure voltages and currents in a simple circuit. | |||
* 10d.5 Demonstrate that a diode will only conduct in one direction in a simple DC circuit. | |||
* 10d.6 Demonstrate that a transitor can be used as a switch in a simple DC circuit. | |||
* 10d.7 Fit a suitable RF connector (PL259, BNC, or N-type) to a piece of coaxial cable | |||
* 10d.8 Fit a 13 amp plug to a piece of 3-core mains cable | |||
* 10e.1 Construct a simple amateur radio related project (e.g. direct conversion receiver, crystal calibrator, 'grid' dip meter, ATU&SWR meter, Morse oscillator, audio amplifier) either from a pre-prepared kit or from a published or personal desing. Construction may be carried out either within a course or elsewhere but the assessor must be satisfied that the bulk of the work is that of the candidate. | |||
* 10e.2 Calibrate a variable frequency oscillator (VFO) employing an adjustable LC circuit. Calibration to show the relevant amateur band edges. The VFO may form part of the project to satisfy 10e.1 or be part of a previously constructed project or provided by the assessor. | |||
