Glossary - PRESIDENT Randy III Manuel D'utilisation

Press the «push-to-talk» switch (14) 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.
