Default Setting altimeters with no radio

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?


The aircraft gives not a **** if its altimeter is accurate and is
incapable of adjustment if it did.
