connected).
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

communication with someone, it is common practice to
choose another available channel so as not to block the
calling channel.
