Unit Number

[FishinGary]

I have what is probably a silly question, but I searched and couldn't find the answer. What does this mean?

As in your call sign plus a unit number such as a wife, husband, father mother child brother….. 

so wrwr123 unit 2.

It means everyone is leaving Ca, mostly the Bay Area

Gil (WRUU653) found the right answer. A club can assign different numbers to each member to make it easier to tell them apart. I have not noticed anyone taking advantage of that.

Make sure if using “Unit number ___” that you’re wearing a shoulder mic, a black basket weave belt complete with flashlight, knife, and keys. Also helpful if you drive an ex-cop car, as this helps complete the picture.

So far the folks getting into our neighborhood network just use the appropriate call sign and first name. That way no one has to memorize all the call sign. We pretty much know who Sal is even if we have three.

If a person has multiple units, he or she can assign different numbers to each to make it easier to tell them apart. I have not noticed anyone taking advantage of that. 

Never mind

I didn’t even notice that this option had been added. I’m guessing Rich added this so more than one person may join the forum using the same call sign. Nice  

I think that “Unit Number” has been there for a while, but I know Rich changed the site so multiple users sharing the same call sign could register. But I don’t think it uses the Unit Number. I could easily be wrong.

I stand corrected. I went in to profile to edit said “Unit Number” and it said this underneath.

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate it!
