Which statement correctly describes the DVRS's channel switching process?

• A. The appropriate chief will announce for crews to switch to the appropriate radio channel
• B. DVRS automatically handles channel switching without human input
• C. DVRS only transmits on a single fixed channel
• D. DVRS requires manual dial on each unit

Answer: (A)

Channel switching on the DVRS is driven by command on the scene. When a change is needed, the appropriate chief will announce that crews should move to the designated radio channel, and everyone switches to that channel so all units are listening to the right talkgroup for the current phase of the incident. This centralized direction keeps communications organized and avoids confusion from radios staying on the wrong channel. The DVRS supports multiple channels, but it does not auto-switch without a directive, and it’s not limited to a single fixed channel. The process relies on the command structure directing the switch, and crews carrying it out accordingly.
