Swedish Hunting Club’s advice before the hunt
It is important that all participants know how to set the pilot tone on their own radio.
Many hunts are unnecessarily delayed because someone is not familiar with the settings. Discovering this on the spot easily creates both irritation in the team and takes valuable time from the hunt itself – time that everyone would rather spend in the forest than on technical issues.
To ensure that the hunt runs smoothly and safely, we recommend that you, as a participant, consider the following:
✔ Ensure that your radio is suitable for the hunt
Check which frequency band is being used
This is especially important for new grounds and guest hunts
The hunt leader always has the current information
✔ Get to know your equipment in advance
Practice changing channels and pilot tones
Familiarize yourself with any extra functions
Adjustments often occur just before the start of the hunt
✔ Review accessories and power supply
Check cables and adapters for hearing protection
Make sure the antenna is properly attached
Avoid loose connections and worn contacts
Charge the radio the night before
Check batteries in active hearing protection
