Also people don’t like others clogging up the open channels like 68 with long personal conversations or idle chit chat so it’s common courtesy to move to another channel to carry on those conversations by saying something like let’s go up (or) down 2 meaning go to 66 or 70 or same a specific channel you want to move the conversation to.
Thank you guys for the info. I appreciate the help. I try my best to be considerate. This is a great place to ask questions and get answers from people with a lot more experience. Thanks again.
