Radio Check...........

Can you say RADIO SHOP?

 

well if your out late at night your more likely to get a response than during all the day chatter.... how to ask "Hello!! Can get a radio check please, just got a new radio and wanna see how it sounds Hello Check, 1 2 Can i get a radio check please?"
tell what someone drives by the way they talk... probably not.....

Good luck, and we are all glad to help here. any questions about antennas and everyone will help, too bad you wont get the same answer about what antennas best from anyone, everyones got their preference... (like mine Wilson silverload)

 

turn it on 19 and wait for people to talk. when they stop then ask for a radio check.

 

Personally I don't ask for a "radio check" if needed I ask if I can get a "modulation verification" (get a little creative).. To many people ask for a radio check for the dumbest reasons.. like to get directions, or ask where is a decent restaurant and I even listen to a guy who just wanted people to talk to, that was his way in getting people to talk to him by asking for a radio check, over and over i had to listen to this for 200+ miles..

And most important, make sure you have the volume turned up and the squelch turned down

 

When you key up ask if anybody else seen those tig o' bitties. More times than not you'll get a response, then you politely say thanks for the radio check.

Just remember your trying to ask people that have the best selective hearing there is for a radio check, gotta get their attention somehow

 

You could always drive along naked and listen to see if you hear them talking about you when you pass. Then get on there and say "Stop peeking!!" LOL I'd imagine they'd respond. Being female, I usually don't have a problem hearing SOMETHING out of one putz or another along the way, so the radio gets checked when I respond with something even more crude and obnoxious than they say.

 

Great way to get a radio check lol
