What is the problem with this call?
The problem with this call is it is incorrect use of RT.

I agree that the radio check can be deemed unnecessary, However the use of, "request taxi," with an Air Ground station is wrong.

It's a request with a controlled response which the air ground operator can not give.

Why not use the correct CAP413 RT.

"STATION Radio G-**** taxing for runway **"

Other traffic maintain exactly the same situational awareness without the Air Ground Operator wondering why he/she is being asked for a clearance.
