sometimes there is a small difference between what the pooley's books say in terms of RT procedures, and what the phrases used at the local airfields are.
when i was in training I just learned from the instructor -
"G-CEEV request radio check and taxi"
"G-CEEV you are fives, QNH xxxx, taxi via bravo and alpha to the holding point"
In the RT test I just made the call in the same way as I did the lessons and it was fine. I guess if the examiner teaches at the airfield they will be ok with it, even if it's not exactly as outlined in CAP413.
Just call for clearance/taxi/whatever - you'll soon find out/be told if your radio isn't working.
i prefer a radio check, seeing as the aircraft we fly aren't the newest...
