Which of the following is NOT one of the six things that should always happen on a radio net?

• A. Use correct frequency
• B. Answer calls in correct order
• C. Ensure net is clear before transmission
• D. Switch to a different net

Answer: (D)

On a radio net, keeping communications orderly on a designated channel is the guiding principle. Using the correct frequency makes sure everyone is listening on the same channel, which is essential for reliable contact. Answering calls in the correct order preserves the planned flow and gives each station its turn without chaos. Ensuring the net is clear before transmitting prevents two or more stations from talking over each other and keeps the channel clean. Moving to a different net isn’t part of the routine; nets are coordinated and should stay on their assigned frequency until the net is finished or you have explicit permission to switch. So, switching to another net is not one of the standard actions that should always happen.
