F) 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).
Press the «push-to-talk» switch ( 13 ) 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) and you have established communication
with someone, it is common practice to choose another available channel
so as not to block the calling channel.
