ABOUT THE COURSE
40+ Hours
In any emergency or critical incident, communication is the vital nervous system of the entire operation. When it fails, the response falters. This advanced course is designed for experienced responders who are ready to move beyond basic radio use and become the communications specialists and leaders who ensure that the lines of communication stay open, no matter the challenge.
This intensive, hands-on program is built on a simple premise: a radio is only as effective as the person operating it and the network supporting it. Participants will delve deep into the theory and practice of managing complex communication networks, troubleshooting in real-time, and leading with discipline when the airwaves get crowded. Graduates will not just know how to talk on a radio; they will know how to build, manage, and repair a communications system under pressure, making them an invaluable asset to any team or incident management structure.

Advanced Radio Communication Course
Learning Goals: Advanced Radio Communication
Overarching Goal: Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to expertly manage communication networks, troubleshoot common issues, and serve as a leader in maintaining effective radio discipline and information flow during a complex incident or event.
Knowledge Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Explain Advanced Radio Theory: Describe the differences and applications of various frequency bands (VHF, UHF, HF), transmission modes (simplex, duplex, trunking), and antenna types, explaining how each impacts communication effectiveness.
Deconstruct Communication Plans: Read and interpret the communications plan (ICS 205) from an Incident Action Plan (IAP), identifying key networks, channels, call signs, and protocols for a multi-agency operation.
Analyze Network Structures: Explain the function of repeaters, gateways, and trunked radio systems (like the Dutch C2000 network), and describe how they are used to create wide-area communication nets.
Identify and Mitigate Interference: Describe the common causes of radio interference, signal degradation, and communication failure, and articulate the standard procedures for troubleshooting and reporting these issues.
Understand Digital and Data Transmission: Explain the basics of digital voice modes and the use of radio systems for simple data transmission, such as status messaging and GPS location sharing.
Master Formal Message Handling: Articulate the procedures for creating, sending, receiving, and logging formal radio messages that require verbatim accuracy.
Describe Field Expedient Solutions: Explain the theory and application of field expedient antennas and relay stations to solve communication challenges in remote or difficult terrain.
Practical Skill Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to demonstrate the ability to:
Operate as Net Control Station (NCS): In a simulated scenario, effectively establish and manage a formal, disciplined radio net, including directing traffic, enforcing protocol, and managing multiple simultaneous users.
Program a Radio: Program a multi-channel radio with frequencies, tones, and channel names according to a communications plan.
Relay Complex Messages: Accurately receive, record, and relay multi-part messages containing critical information (e.g., detailed patient assessments, location coordinates, resource requests) under simulated stress.
Troubleshoot Communication Failures: Systematically diagnose and resolve common communication problems, such as incorrect settings, poor signal, or user error.
Construct a Field Expedient Antenna: Build and deploy a simple field expedient antenna to improve transmission or reception capabilities.
Perform a Radio Relay: Establish and operate a relay station (either human or equipment-based) to bridge communication gaps between two distant stations.
