Now that you have read the manual, make sure that your radio is
ready for use (i.e. check that your antenna is connected).
Choose your channel.
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 «At-
tention 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 and you have established communi-
cation with someone, it is common practice to choose another
available channel so as not to block the calling channel.
