Radio Use Standard Operating Procedures

• Make sure your comms are clear and quick

• You are not the only person in RTO and need to be fast so other people can talk especially if they have a bigger emergency then you.

• Know what your going to say before calling to dispatch

• If your not calling dispatch and instead another unit you'd say, (Your callsign), (There Callsign) Example 1B-457, 1A-457 Direct.

• If the person your trying to contact doesn't answer right away, be patient and wait some time before trying again.
