ISR Utilization Policy
• ISR frequencies are used by other military and federal users on a shared basis.– While chances of conflicting with another
agency are small, be aware that there may be other users of the frequencies.
• ISRs are not to be used from aircraft.– The ISR is intended to be a short-range
radio. If it is used in an aircraft, its range increases dramatically and may interfere with other users.

ISR Utilization Policy(Continued)
• Standard CAP radio procedure will be used.• Call signs will be used at all times and will be
assigned by appropriate leaders.• ISRs will normally be used with tactical call
signs (ex. Ground Team 2, Unit 1 or TC650 Unit 1)

The ISR’s Range
• The ISR is a short-range radio. It covers different areas in different terrain:– In wide areas free from obstruction, it has
its highest range (up to 2 miles)– When there are large buildings or trees in
the operating area, it covers a medium range.
– In mountainous areas or areas with heavy foliage, it covers a minimum range.

The Batteries
• The ISR operates on three AA batteries. To install:– Open the latch at the bottom of the back of
the radio– Lift the battery cover from the bottom and
pull out.– NEVER leave batteries in the radio when the
radio is not being used for more than a few days.
