[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 897525, member: 1875"] There will be lots of folks running FRS/GMRS radios for Bike2Bike. Anyone caught running VOX (with it set sensitive to wind noise), or the wretched Roger Beep, will be summarily deflated and left on the roadside to rot. [B]Basic radio etiquette requests that you...[/B] 1. Disable VOX and instead use PushToTalk. Only if your PTT malfunctions should you attempt to use VOX, and even then, only with an extremely low sensitivity setting so that others are not listening to the wind blowing past your helmet. Under NO circumstances should you sing while using VOX. :( 2. Find a way to shut off that damn Roger Beep. It's not the beep YOU hear when a radio button/key is pressed. It's that gawdawful beep heard by everyone else as you stop transmitting. The inventor of the Roger Beep is cleaning sewer drains from the basement of Hell. 3. Allow the leader of the group to maintain control of the chatter. Most of the communications should take place between the leader and the sweep. Improved safety for everyone is the primary reason for Bike2Bike. 4. If you decide to split-off for any reason, pick a different channel and give others in the main group a courtesy heads-up. People really do care what happens to you and why you are not responding. [/QUOTE]
