Basic Considerations - The ABC's of Radios
Accuracy
Before you key your radio, make sure to collect your thoughts and accurately transmit your message so you can give your teammates the best information possible.
Brevity
Send your message as succinctly as possible to avoid clogging up the net. Nobody needs to hear you ramble while they're in a firefight.
Clarity
Speak as clearly as possible! Radios are interfered with by range and terrain so your intended recipient might get you with lots of static. Try to keep your voice clear (Especially if you're one of our heavily accented friends)
Radio Traffic
Initiating a radio handshake
Someone this is someone All radio traffic should begin with something like this. If you get a response, great, send your message. Otherwise, the other guy probably isn't receiving your message. More formally, it goes something like this. Bravo, Alpha In this scenario, someone from Alpha squad is calling Bravo squad. Bravo would respond with simply their callsign - Bravo And that's all there is. The Alpha person would send the message and both go on their ways.
