Comrades can't tell the difference between a PRC-148 and a Nokia 3310? Unsure what end you speak into or how the disembodied voices of your comrades spew forth? Well worry no longer!

Starting at 1930 GMT Friday we shall be teaching you the ways to tame the simple 343, the mysterious 148 and the aerial endowed 117F in a pre-session workshop.

We'll cover:
  • Radios you will encounter during a V+ session
  • Roles for each radio
  • Switching radios
  • Changing channels
  • Changing volume
  • Boosting ranges
  • Vehicle radios
  • Whisper and Shout
  • Headset lowering and raising
  • Switching ears

    And lastly
  • Planning with ACRE
Once its over you will be prepped and good to go for the main session at 2000 GMT.

Just to add a bit of context to this. V+ attendance is growing and we'd like to see the radios used within a defined structure to enable us and you to get the best from the sessions.

Hope to see you there :)

Would it be possible to get this recorded for those of us who can't make it/for new attendees in the future? The 343/148's are simple enough, but 117's scare the crap out of me.

A lot ACRE video guides out there come with a ton of unnecessary guff that we don't tend to use and might be overwhelming for newcomers. Plus, it might make good propaganda!

That's the plan Satire. We'll be doing a tutorial video cut together with footage from the WS and putting it up in the "Need to Know" section. It will be live probably sometime on Saturday evening.
