*Question G1E02:
[97.205(b)] When may a 10-meter repeater retransmit the 2-meter signal from a station that has a Technician class control operator?*  

*Correct Answer is  D: Only if the 10-meter repeater control operator holds at least a General class license*  

### AI Response: (may contain errors)  

To understand the correct answer to this question, we need to look at the FCC regulations regarding amateur radio operations, particularly concerning license class and retransmission.

### Correct Answer Explanation:
- **Correct Answer: D** - A 10-meter repeater may retransmit a 2-meter signal from a station with a Technician class control operator **only if the 10-meter repeater control operator holds at least a General class license**. 

This is because the FCC rules state that a repeater can only retransmit signals from stations that are operating within the privileges of their license class. Since a Technician class operator has limited privileges on the 2-meter band, the 10-meter repeater operator must have at least a General class license to legally retransmit those signals.

### Why the Other Choices are Incorrect:
- **A: Under no circumstances**  
  This is incorrect because there are circumstances under which a Technician class operator's signal can be retransmitted, provided the 10-meter repeater operator has the appropriate license.

- **B: Only if the station on 10-meters is operating under a Special Temporary Authorization allowing such retransmission**  
  This is incorrect because a Special Temporary Authorization (STA) does not change the fundamental requirement that the repeater operator must hold a General class license to retransmit signals from a Technician class operator.

- **C: Only during an FCC-declared general state of communications emergency**  
  This is incorrect because even during emergencies, the same licensing rules apply. The repeater operator must still hold the appropriate license class to retransmit signals.

### Summary of Key Points:
- A 10-meter repeater can retransmit a 2-meter signal from a Technician class operator only if the repeater control operator has at least a General class license.
- The FCC rules are strict about license privileges and retransmission rights.

This understanding is crucial for the Extra Class exam and ensures compliance with FCC regulations in amateur radio operations.
