    The FCC requires that conversations be brief and confined to business. To save time, use coded messages whenever possible. Using the radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Send only those messages essential for the business operation. It is against the Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything overheard on the radio.
