Page 20: Notes For Good Communication
NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION 1. The GMRS600SCH 22 channels are shared on a ‘take turns’ basis. This means other groups may be talking on any of the channels. A common code of ethics/courtesy is to switch to another vacant channel and not to attempt to talk over someone who is already using the channel you first selected. -
