Press the «push-to-talk» switch and announce your message «Attention stations,
transmission testing» which will allow you to check the clearness and the power of
your signal. Release the switch and wait for a reply. You should receive a reply like,
«Strong and clear».
If you use a calling channel (19, 27) and you have established communication with
someone, it is common practice to choose another available channel so as not to
block the calling channel.
