Radio Training

Nine rules of the air, then six live drills. Pick the correct transmission.

Rules of the Air

  • Speak clearly and at a steady pace. Think before you key up.
  • Keep transmissions short. One idea per transmission.
  • Identify yourself first: callsign, then message.
  • Wait for other transmissions to finish. Never step on command traffic.
  • Use approved terminology from the command dictionary.
  • Acknowledge important orders with a copy or a readback.
  • Avoid radio spam and unnecessary conversation.
  • Maintain professionalism even when the scenario goes badly.

Drills

0 / 6 correct

COMMAND: "SWAT-1, standby."

COMMAND: "All units, radio check."

You have just checked a room and found nobody inside.

You lose sight of the subject you were watching.

COMMAND: "Negotiations active, all units hold."

Another unit is mid-transmission and you have non-urgent information.
