DESCRIPTION

communicate with a net, or station, which is not a part of the operational

loadset, or loadsets if more than one radio is being used.

Commanders, staff officers, drivers, and others who frequently move

about the battlefield should be able to perform this task without

assistance other than reference to the Operator's Pocket Guide. As

noted below, the RT-1523 version of the SINCGARS radio requires

use of the FH-M position in order to change a net ID, and will allow the

operator to change only the last two digits of the net ID. Despite these

differences, the procedure for changing a net ID is essentially the

same. Use of this procedure enable the operator to contact virtually

any SINCGARS station within a division.
