Default Setting altimeters with no radio

My filter failed and this message popped up... Not an issue of any
importance in itself and fixed again with two mouse clicks...
However, seeing the list of you tripping over yourselves to answer his
trolling have me howling with laughter...

Since it is possible to fly without voice radio equipment, and given
that (if I understand correctly) pilots are supposed to have their
altimeters set correctly to a reference located not more than 100
miles from their position, how does an aircraft without a radio keep
its altimeter properly set as it travels?
