| + | SAR Communication- the exchange of thoughts and ideas in a SAR |
| + | environment. |
| + | What can we use to communicate? |
| + | In a SAR environment what type of information do you send? |
| + | The biggest problem you will ever experience in a SAR situation is lack |
| + | of Communication. |
| + | Have a plan in place, if there is a communication problem. |
| + | Make sure your information is clear, concise and short. Think before |
| + | you speak, not during. |
| + | Common Radio Procedures |
| + | Acquaint your self with local operating rules for the channel you |
| + | are assigned. |
| + | Keep messages short. |
| + | Do not cut into a message being sent. Listen before you send. |
| + | Death or injury relayed in code or special word by mgmt., |
| + | instructions. |
| | | |

| |
- | * Basic Radio Theory
| |
- | ** all the wireless electronic communications methods are using radio waves
| |
- | ** radio waves are electromagnetic radiation, same as light, longer wavelength
| |
| | | |
- | {{lesson slide|00:14|8 min}}
| + | Why professionalism, why standards? |
- | [[Image:Communications-Lesson-Slides.pdf|page=6|200px|right]]
| + | - communicating clearly with other groups |
- | [[Image:Communications-Lesson-Slides.pdf|page=7|200px|right]]
| + | - expectations of other groups (RCMP) |
- | [[Image:Communications-Lesson-Slides.pdf|page=8|200px|right]]
| + | - working efficiently |
- | * Wavelength / Frequency
| + | |
- | ** All radio transmissions have a wavelength
| + | |
- | ** The speed of radio is the same: 3 x 108 m/s (speed of light)
| + | |
- | ** The number of waves received at a spot per second changes with the wavelength. Shorter wavelength, higher frequency.
| + | |
- | * Bands:
| + | |
- | ** VHF: 30 - 300 MHz: 10 m to 1 m
| + | |
- | ** UHF: 300MHz - 3 GHz: 1 m to 10 cm
| + | |
- | * Longer wavelengths bend around hills easier
| + | |
- | * Shorter frequencies can carry more information, packed closer together
| + | |
- | * Some frequencies bounce off the high atmosphere easier
| + | |
- | * Simplex: Transmit and receive on same frequency
| + | |
- | ** one at a time
| + | |
- | * Duplex: Transmit and receive on different frequencies
| + | |
- | ** simultaneously
| + | |
- | ** typically using tower: repeater channels, cell phones
| + | |
| | | |
- | {{lesson slide|00:22|3 min}}
| + | * Theory |
- | [[Image:Communications-Lesson-Slides.pdf|page=9|200px|right]]
| + | |
- | * Power | + | |
- | ** Power is measured in Watts (W)
| + | |
- | ** The more power the further the signal can be received
| + | |
- | *** Generally: double the distance, 4 times the power
| + | |
- | ** advantages to less power?
| + | |
- | *** Neighbours can share the same frequency
| + | |
- | *** Batteries last longer
| + | |
- | * Typical: 0.5 W FRS, 2 W GMRS, 3 W commercial handheld, 30 W commercial mobile, base station
| + | |
- | ** 5 W HAM portable
| + | |
| | | |
- | {{lesson slide|00:25|2 min}}
| + | - Radio waves / light waves |
- | [[Image:Communications-Lesson-Slides.pdf|page=10|200px|right]]
| + | |
- | * Polarity
| + | |
- | ** compare with polarized glasses
| + | |
- | ** different types of antennas transmit and receive with different polar orientations
| + | |
- | ** keep antennas upright
| + | |
| | | |
- | {{lesson slide|00:27|3 min}}
| |
- | [[Image:Communications-Lesson-Slides.pdf|page=11|200px|right]]
| |
- | * Signal Encoding
| |
- | ** AM: Amplitude Modulation
| |
- | ** FM: Frequency Modulation
| |
- | *** more resistant to static interference
| |
- | ** Generally: established by band, fixed in radio
| |
| | | |
- | {{lesson slide|00:30|4 min}}
| + | - Stations types: |
- | [[Image:Communications-Lesson-Slides.pdf|page=12|200px|right]]
| + | Base, Mobile, Portable |
- | * Squelch
| + | |
- | ** radio waves always present, but is it a real transmission?
| + | - Simplex vs Duplex (Repeater) |
- | *** Electromagnetic noise, interference
| + | |
- | ** suppress speaker based on signal strength
| + | |
- | ** squelch button: remove squelch
| + | |
- | ** CTSS: Continuous Tone Squelch System
| + | |
- | *** very low frequency tone added to transmission, if not present, suppress speaker
| + | |
- | *** tone is so low can't be heard by human ear (maybe elephant, whale!)
| + | |
- | *** FRS sub-channels
| + | |
- | *** 2 sub-channels of same channel can't be use at same time
| + | |

| + | 5 teams + base |
| + | |
| + | Base Team |
| + | - person likely to be at base |
| + | - any that may need to leave early |
| + | |
| + | Practice Objective: Create as big a circle as possible around Pincher |
| + | Creek. Each team is in contact either directly or indirectly with |
| + | base. |
| + | |
| + | Vehicles |
| + | - Driver (more experienced radio person) |
| + | - Radio (less experienced radio person) |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | - If no communications for 5 minutes head back towards base |
| + | |
| + | - Base is in control |
| + | |
| + | Underlying Objective: To practice proper use of radios. |
| + | |
| + | Use the techniques we've described. |
| + | |
| + | If you hear a communication that doesn't follow the protocol that |
| + | we've learned, respond as if it was 'garbled'. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | Sometime between 20:30 and 21:00 everyone at base. |
