3 If you have a push button vtx, and are out on a field with others around, you are in a tricky spot because you can't jump to a free channel without them landing (you'll need to channel hop first).
Could you use something like a restricter, dummy antenna or some other way to cut transmitting power temporarily?

4 Or simply put a metal bowl over your quad LOL
But seriously, I think everyone at a race should figure out the VTX channels people they take off, Know your VTx before you go to a field with other people and make sure you're on the right channel before you power on.
Even then, most VTxs do a broadcast before settling into a specific channel, so call out before you plug in, make sure anybody flying is aware of what is about to happen, and keep your hand on your connector and your eyes on the pilots in case you step on someone by accident.
