=== Radio Use === | |||
If you are using an FRS/GMRS radio, please be sure to: | |||
* '''Check the Operations Plan for which frequencies the Command Post will be using.''' There will be two: an emergency frequency, and a non-emergency frequency (to request coverage during a bathroom break, for example, and for routine check-ins). Have your radio set to the emergency frequency. | |||
* '''Be prepared to change frequencies at the direction of the Command Post.''' FRS/GMRS frequencies are public and it's not impossible for our chosen frequency getting hijacked by 12-year-olds making fart jokes (this has actually happened). Listen for the Command Post requesting you to move frequencies. If all frequencies are crowded, the Command Post may ask for communications to be moved to cell phones. '''(MAYBE WE SHOULD ASK FOLKS TO USE ZELLO?)''' | |||
* When talking, press the push-to-talk button, '''wait two seconds,''' and then speak. | |||
