FRS/GMRS mapping | The process of FRS/GMRS propagation mapping is relatively straightforward and can involve all members of a team. This article structures the method as a formal team exercise to help ensure accurate results. However, PBEM encourages Team Leaders to take a more informal approach as suited to the mood and availability of team members. | ||
FRS/GMRS propagation mapping is conducted by placing a two-person team (a radio operator and a scribe) at the team's intended NET Incident Command Post. "Rover teams" report to the Radio Operator as they stop at specific locations throughout the NET Service Area. The Radio Operator and the Rover Teams record the radio voice quality for the conversation, as they heard it, at each location. The radio voice quality values for each reported location are then used to create color-coded maps for Incident Command staff and Strike Teams for use during large-scale disaster response. | |||
