Thanks to the FCC eliminating the symbol rate limitations, in favor of a bandwidth limit, two of the General Class license questions are now incorrect and were eliminated from the question pool by the NCVEC Question Pool committee.
We may see more of this if and when the second part of the NPRM regarding VHF and above limits are approved.

because they are no longer correct.The web article on the symbol rate restrictions can be find at,
