Amazing how “simple” just. Plain. Works. SO many players (myself included) get sucked into product and lifestyle marketing and over complicate. Sometimes you need a reminder like this one. Good content.
Lowering tone of your voice instead of whispering is really clever way of making callouts, thank you for this great advice. common issue with callouts among some milsim players is that under pressure they will release radio''s -press to talk- button early cutting off last bit of their own callout and without confirm they have to repeat it and again use that channel, .... my example callout could be : Tango north-west Echo 4 rotating west towards two story.... and the confirm could be - 10-4 - Foxtrot 3- north flank hot in 5....and than I;d confirm -- 10-4 ...... basically saying 4 enemies moving west, going towards the 2 story building, if possible send flankers, reinforcements... 10-4 is Roger in 10 code and foxtrot obviously - friendlies.... .... i'm not in any force and my callouts are totally amateur but I think clear enough to understand ,.. again thank you for your amazing videos, that I use playing my milsim that for some may be a silly game, but its not only extremely tactical but also work closely with support group -STACK UP to help ex-US and British army personnel overcome PTSD and mental problems that occured during military service, ( ff video to 37th minute for interview with veterans ) god bless you sir:-) ua-cam.com/video/vOxwgGebWbM/v-deo.html
Your the Man!!! Thank you so much for making this fallow up video. We are 100% on the same page. I will be using this as a teaching aid for as long as you keep it up. I think my guys will benefit more from your explanation than me saying it over and over. The radio is a force multiplier not toy. Thanks again. Side note, looks like you got some new ink!!
Preliminary comment: "The department I work for is plain speak." Uhhhh huh.... SURE THEY ARE! "Enroute Corrections with a Male Code 2" "10-8, Code 4 and 5" or my favorite "10-8, Codes 2 and 8 to corrections". The entire metro may be closer to plain speak than the rest of the state (and state patrol), but there is still a stupid amount of "super secret squirrel" codes (that are publicly available) compared to true plain speak. Codes are designed to speed up otherwise lengthy statements. True plain speak for "10-8 Code 2 and 8 to corrections" is quite lengthy: "In Service, arrested one and transported to corrections" Likewise, in 10 codes, at least the Nebraska State Patrol ones, the above phrase is simply just 10-8, because you already told dispatch "10-19 with Male 10-15" and they'd already know what you were on/doing. FWIW, the clearing codes in the Metro are highly unnecessary for arrests because you are already telling dispatch you are enroute corrections with a male code 2... No need for clearing codes with ten codes.. Or a traffic stop goes from "10-7 Traffic Stop, location, plate, car description, occupants" goes to "10-52, location, plate, description occupants". It saves a few syllables and is stupid easy to learn. You learn the most common ones you use every day just like you do the clearing codes in the metro. I got off on a tangent there, but agree with the premise of the video. Proper radio procedures also require good event planning. Having landmarks on the field, either terrain (Death spotted north of the Y), or capture points, are important. You've already harped on having GOOD radios as well. I learned the power of good radio use in Arizona when I was in college. A group of guys there were pretty hardcore about radio usage and they frequently wiped the floor with the opposing team, almost single handedly. Of course, the fields we were playing on were also public land areas several thousand acres large in the mountains surrounding Phoenix or up in Prescott where getting lost was a REAL possibility and there were very real risks of dying just playing the game due to terrain, wildlife, etc.
@CreachterZ You can program the frequencies into the Baofeng. To use the frequencies above a certain power level (5W I believe) a federal license is required. I think it costs $35. I am not an expert on the topic.

Thanks.
Good Stuff as always. Shared it on two groups already and planning on spreading it around.
Thank you sir!

You are way too passionate about ten codes.
@@GunfatherMilsim I only used them for six years..................
Always usefull stuff! Thanks
Even more basic, what kind of radios do most folks use? GMRS?
Yep. Baofeng models are the most common I have seen.
@@GunfatherMilsim Are the GMRS frequencies used on the Baofeng? My concern is making radios available to non-hams to not attract attention.
