How do I set up radios?

Set the PMR 446 radio channels for your hunting ground or for a hunt so that all participants tune their walkie-talkies to the right channel. The hunting ground's radios are set by its administrator or manager, or by a member with the **Manage radios** permission. A hunt's radios are set by its organiser, by the hunting ground's administrator or manager, or by a member with the **Edit all events** permission. ## On mobile ### The hunting ground's radios 1. **Hunting grounds** tab, open the hunting ground, "Activities" section, tap **Radios**. 2. Tap **＋** at the top right. A new numbered "Radio" card appears. 3. Fill in the **Channel name** (for example General, Teams, Emergency) and the **PMR channel / frequency** (for example Channel 8, or 446.09375 MHz). 4. Tap **＋** again for each extra radio. The cross at the top of a card removes it. 5. Tap **Save**. The message "The default radio channels have been updated." confirms it. ### A hunt's radios 1. Open the hunt, tap **Manage**, then **Radios** in the "Safety & communication" section. 2. Tap **＋** at the top right, then fill in the **Channel name** and the **PMR channel / frequency**. 3. Tap **Save**. The **?** at the top of the screen explains what radios are for and where participants can find them. ### Where participants see them 1. Open the hunt, **Information** tab. 2. In the "Organisation" section, tap **Radios**. The list of channels opens. During a live hunt, the radios are also in the **Info** tab, "Radio frequencies" section. ## On the web ### The hunting ground's radios 1. Open the hunting ground, then click **Radios** in the "ACTIVITIES" section. 2. Click **Add a radio** at the top right of the page. 3. Fill in the **Radio name** (for example Hunters) and the **Channel / frequency** (for example Channel 8, or 446.09375). 4. Click **Save**. ### A hunt's radios 1. Open the hunting ground, click **Hunts**, then open the hunt. 2. Click **Radio frequencies** in the "ACTION / FIELD" section. 3. Click **Add a radio**, fill in the fields, then click **Save**. The message "Radio frequencies saved" confirms it. A hunting ground member who isn't allowed to edit the hunt sees the same page in read-only mode, or "No radio frequencies have been set up for this hunt.". ### Where participants see them 1. Click **My hunts** in the menu, then the hunt. 2. In the "Organisation" panel, click **Radios** to expand the list. ## Good to know - A hunt created on a hunting ground, on mobile or on the web, copies the hunting ground's radios. You can then change or remove them in the hunt without affecting the hunting ground's. - This copy only happens at creation. Changing the hunting ground's radios after a hunt is created doesn't change that hunt's, and a hunt created before the hunting ground had radios didn't get any. - An immediate hunt has no hunting ground: no radios are carried over. A hunt created with **Duplicate the hunt** copies the radios of the original hunt, not the hunting ground's. - The hunting ground's radios are also the fallback: when a hunt has no radios of its own, they are the ones shown in the live hunt and on the hunt page on the web. - A radio with no name and no channel isn't kept when you save. - The hunting ground's **Radios** entry only appears to people allowed to manage them. ## If something goes wrong - "I don't see Radios in my hunting ground": you don't have the **Manage radios** permission. Ask the hunting ground's administrator or manager for it. - "Participants don't see the radios": check that you did tap or click **Save**, and that at least one of the two fields is filled in. - "My hunt didn't copy the hunting ground's radios": the hunt was created before the hunting ground had radios, or it is an immediate hunt. Add them in the hunt. - "Unable to load the radios." (mobile): the hunting ground page couldn't read the radios. Tap **Try again**. ## See also - [How do I set up horn calls?](article:how-do-i-set-up-horn-calls) - [How do I start a live hunt?](article:how-do-i-start-a-live-hunt) - [How do I use a hunt page?](article:how-do-i-use-a-hunts-page) - [Roles and permissions](article:roles-and-permissions)
