19.3 RADIO COURTESY
Observance of a few simple rules of common courtesy will contribute to the effectiveness of our radio
communication system. When you are operating a radio, you must remember to follow these rules:
1. Always monitor the airways a few seconds before transmitting. The microphone is equipped with a
monitor button. The monitor will only open the F4 receiver, used by District bases 1, 3 and 6 and
monitor mobiles sharing the base frequency. Otherwise, the use of a scanner is required to monitor
base units within a District.
