What does "check check" mean?

Just substitute "check, check" with "I'm an ignoramus/dipstick/redneck/dufuss" & you pretty well have it. Yes, those terms also apply to me, but at least I have some reasonable idea of how to use my Ham/CB radios!
I hear people saying it in all sorts of context, so I can't figure out exactly what is meant by it.
Maybe they don't take debit cards and just want cheques (checks).
I suppose it is better than hearing "Raw-Jo on dat tin-fower." but not much. :headbang

Thats a good question, and does saying "aaaadioh" repeatedly and immediately before uttering check-check change the meaning?

Being a long time CB trash type person let me explain to you what you have to understand. In order to be a proper CB operator you must always find the busy channel to perform your warm up and tune up on.
Simple.
We can't be bothered to look for an empty channel to check the tune of our radio on. You must also understand how sensitive our equipment is to even the slightest change in temperature or humidity. It could drift off frequency by 3 or 4 channels overnight.
When you finally do figure the answer out for yourself be sure to let me know why 19 is always the most popular channel to work skip on and rag chew on as well. It wouldn't be a problem if those knuckle dragging, gear jamming truckers would just go find another channel to call their own.

UGH another thing i hate! Last time i hears someone saying "check check check" my reply was "Shut the fuck up stupid and get a dummy load if you want to check a radio out!"
