RADIO ETIQUETTE

Listen for radio traffic before transmitting. 

Know what you’re going to say before pressing the Push-to-Talk button. 

After pressing the Push-to-Talk button, pause briefly (one second), and then speak into the microphone. 

Speak clearly.

Use clear text (do not use ten codes). 

Do not use foul language. 

Keep radio traffic to a minimum. 

Keep messages short and concise. 

When making a call, identify yourself, unit calling, and radio channel you are transmitting on.  For example: Div A, this is Operations on Command. 

Clear radio channel when conversation is finished. For example: Div A, clear.
