Comms and Facilities Checks
During a facilities check, you speak into the microphone labeled Reporter 1, but the A1 identifies it as Reporter 2. What should you do next?
A facilities check must confirm the correct source and destination, not merely the presence of audio.

What should the A2 check when a BP-325 will not pass intercom to another beltpack?
During setup, one BP-325 is working normally when connected to an RTS intercom line. A second BP-325 is connected to the male XLR on the first beltpack, but the second beltpack does not power up or receive intercom.
The second beltpack and connecting XLR cable both work when connected directly to the intercom line.
The male XLR on a BP-325 is not always configured to perform the same function.

Microphones and Talent
What is the best response to movement-related lav crackling with steady RF?
The A1 reports that a reporter's lav crackles whenever the reporter turns their head. The RF level remains steady, and the audio is otherwise normal.
Steady RF suggests the problem is in the microphone’s audio path.
