How To Transmit Or Receive A Message; Glossary - PRESIDENT TAYLOR II Classic Manuel D'utilisation

E) HOW TO TRANSMIT OR RECEIVE A MESSAGE:
Now that you have read the manual, make sure that your CB Radio is ready
for use (i.e. check that your antenna is connected).
Choose your channel (19, 27).
Choose your mode (AM/FM) which must be the same as that of your
correspondent.
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 communica-
tion with someone, it is common practice to choose another available
channel so as not to block the calling channel.
F) GLOSSARY:
Below you will find some of the most frequently used CB radio expressions.
Remember this is meant for fun and that you are by no means obliged to use
them. In an emergency, you should be as clear as possible.
