Which code grants permission to operate on the common channel?

• A. Permission to go on Common Channel
• B. Receiving Well
• C. Stop Transmitting
• D. In Service

Answer: (A)

The key idea is how officers confirm they’re allowed to use a shared radio resource. On a common channel, you need explicit approval to transmit so no one else’s messages get mixed up. The code that directly communicates that authorization is the one that states “Permission to go on Common Channel.” It signals that you may start operating on that shared channel and begin transmitting. Other options describe either signal quality (Receiving Well), a command to stop transmitting (Stop Transmitting), or a unit being available for calls (In Service), none of which grant the necessary authorization to use the channel.
