■ Basic transmit operation
Before transmitting, monitor your selected
operating frequency to make sure transmitting
won’t cause interference to other stations on
the same frequency. It’s good amateur practice
to listen rst, and then, even if nothing is heard,
ask “Is the frequency in use?” once or twice,
before you begin operating on that frequency.
