You can usually find more distant
stations as well. My local one is on channel 27, but there is one
about 20 miles from me on channel 24. I think the automated radio
check is far superior to the old way. You not only don't waste
time wondering if you got no response because something is wrong,
but you also get a playback of your own audio as they received it,
which is a lot more valuable than, "You sound okay over here
somewhere near Charles Island". The other plus is that it greatly
reduces the number of radio checks on 9 and 16, which can get
pretty annoying to those who like to monitor those channels to
know what is going on in the area. Most times you are going to get
a human response from nearby anyway. May as well hear exactly what
you sound like. I recently had my radio get soaked, and although I
could reach both near and distant automated radio checks, it
showed my that my modulation was low and unintelligible. Two days
later, I was pleased to find the radio had dried out and the
modulation was back to normal.
