Re: Checking out radio during competition

Just couple things to keep in mind if you run into problems. We had a communication failure QF2-3. We ended up having IFI attach a second antenna and cable for the match. It did look a little strange seeing two antennas side-by-side. We found out after the match that the cable had gone bad, until that point we were not aware of any problems. We will now keep a spare cable and antenna on the cart along with a couple zip ties for a quick replacement just in case IFI does not come through. It would have been easier and quicker if we could have tried the replacement cable immediately instead of waiting for IFI with the referees watching the clock and almost asking us to leave the field. The IFI guy really pulled through and we were able to complete.
