Yes, that's the "brute force" method to do it. A talented radio operator can also move his dials in tiny increments (if he has a radio with "free" dials, rather than the "click" dials of most modern tactical radios) to try to jump out of jammed spectrum, even if just for a moment. There are other ways to fight jamming with FH radios, but I don't know if they are still classified (when I was in the the Army, those methods were), but the exact methods don't really matter; just using skill rolls and GM fudging should work for game play. And a better antenna, or a boosted antenna will definitely help.
