I frequently provide radar services to foreign pilots in class G, and agree that you wonder whether they actually know the difference between RAS and RIS; only one company as far as I know actually tells its pilots to ask for 'RAS and nothing less'.
If SRG had consulted a few class G radar units before writing this, it could have been phrased a lot better. (and I've only done 37 yrs 5 mths)
