Voice Procedure in a Nutshell

In Chapter 3, we looked at Voice Procedures, and discussed the correct way to talk over the radios. We did this by looking at some example dialogs, and then walking through them examining each step. Those examples are repeated here verbatim, but without the examinations that go with them. In this way, this appendix can be used as quick reference guide, to be kept handy when using the radios. For a fuller description of each example, refer back to Chapter 3.
