The Sacramento CERT Communications 2 class is targeted at CERT members who are not FCC licensed radio operators. This class is designed to teach CERT members about the varios radios in use with Sacramento CERT, and basic radio communications concepts and etiquette.
This is a largely hands-on class where members will learn how to set up larger radio systems "end to end", from generators, power supplies, base station radios, automatic antenna tuners, feed lines, masts, and antennas), as well as additional systems such as the cellular repeater on our Command / Communications / Rehab trailer.
The goal of this class is to have a trained subset of CERT members who can assist FCC licensed operators as they set up and operate larger radio systems used during deployments.
