I was testing a new VHF handheld the other day, and I switched to Channel 9
and asked for a "radio check" from anyone who was picking up my signal. Got
a couple of good responses, including one farther away than I thought a
handheld could reach, and one response from some a**hole who was "annoyed"
that I was asking for a radio check.

He said, "use another channel, dammit."

Well...

I know channel 16 is inappropriate for a radio check, but I always thought
channel 9 was just fine.

If you want a VHF radio check, what channel do you use?
Dunno. But your response should have been "10-4 good buddy. Keep the shiny
side up"
