RIPPER238 Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 First time trying to communicate with others on my Midland MXT275. I gave my call sign and asked for a simple radio check. Response was "mobil radio, mobile radio hahaha. I responded thank you, gad it works. and the response again was "mobil radio, mobile radio..." I got some winners around me. mainehazmt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n4gix Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Having a warped sense of humor, sometimes I reply to such radio check requests... "I've just checked, and mine are still here... ...seriously, you are ________ !" RIPPER238 and mainehazmt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I've just checked, and mine are still here... ...seriously, you are ________ !"We used to tell them to follow that curly cord from the device in front of their face. You'll find your radio there. mainehazmt and n4gix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRMK268 Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 I would respond to a radio check. There just aren’t many GMRS users yet in my area.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Radioboy1962 and RIPPER238 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
