Basic repeater etiquette includes several key practices to ensure a pleasant and efficient communication experience for all users.

#First, always listen before transmitting to avoid interrupting ongoing conversations.
#When you are ready to make a call, simply state your call sign followed by "listening" or "monitoring" to indicate your availability for a conversation.
#Avoid calling CQ on a repeater, as it is not necessary and can be disruptive.
#If you need to join an existing conversation, wait for a break in the conversation and then introduce yourself with your call sign.
#Do not monopolize the repeater; if you are part of a conversation that lasts for a long time, consider moving to a simplex frequency to continue the discussion.
#Additionally, do not use the term "break" to join a conversation unless it is an emergency situation.
#For emergency communications, use the word "emergency" or "break break break" followed by your call sign to alert others to the urgency of your message.
#If you are simply testing your radio, key your microphone, transmit your call sign, and wait for the repeater to respond rather than kerchunking it.
#Lastly, be mindful of the repeater's courtesy tone and allow a brief pause between transmissions to let the repeater reset and for others to join the conversation.
#Always use polite and clear language, and remember that the repeater is a shared resource for the entire amateur radio community.
#Avoid jargon and phonetics, unless some asks for clarification on a spelling or callsign

Kerchunking: Avoid kerchunking the repeater, which means pressing the PTT without speaking.
