Measured locations are checked off on the Radio Survey Map as the Rover Team progresses through their assigned Survey Area. The Navigator/Radio Operator may use a map application on their mobile phone to clear up any ambiguity in Survey Locations or for any navigation issues. | Measured locations are checked off on the Radio Survey Map as the Rover Team progresses through their assigned Survey Area.

==== Listening post - optional ==== | |||
Listening posts are optional but may be placed at locations that may be important during a major disaster. Listening Post locations might include an Alternate Incident Command Post, BEECN sites, or Fire Stations. Each Listening Post should have a minimum of two participants. | |||
Upon arrival, the Listening Post checks in with the Command Post and records the radio voice quality value for the conversation. The Listening Post then listens passively to and evaluates the Radio Voice Quality of Rover Team broadcasts for the duration of the Survey Session. The participants will collaborate to decide on a radio voice quality value. | |||
