Any call-out to enhance awareness should also contain relevant information.
‘RA Alive’ is meaningless without the recipient associating it with system knowledge - 2500ft (i.e. the system hasn’t died).

A better call would be ‘2500ft rad alt’, which would be consistent for either an automated alert, or for a crew statement of the instrument reading.
