The primary goal of a Radio Coverage Survey is to measure the radio voice quality of FRS/GMRS radio communications within a prescribed NET Service Area. | |||
The radio voice quality values may be used to: | |||
* Validate prospective primary and backup locations for a NET Incident Command Post; | |||
* Determine radio voice quality at points throughout the NET Service Area; | |||
* Scope out potential locations for an FRS/GMRS repeater or relay sites. | |||
The ''process'' of radio mapping with team members will also: | |||
* Improve radio skills; | |||
* Increase familiarity of the NET Service Area; | |||
* Allow practice of elements of the Incident Command System (ICS); | |||
* Build team cohesiveness; and, | |||
* Cultivate an understanding of radio communication coverage patterns to reduce uncertainty and anxiety during a major disaster. | |||
