Radio Etiquette
Your radio has multiple Channels shared on a “take turns” basis; other groups may
be talking on the Channels. For uninterrupted communications, do not talk over
someone who is already using the Channel – your message may not be completely
heard. Try changing the Channel to avoid Channel congestion or use the
J
(T5820)
or
Q
(T5800) to check for Channel activity. If you hear static while holding down
J
,
Channel is clear to use.
