Signal Reports
Signal reports are a standard protocol for reporting signal strength and readability. Generally, each station will inform the other of their signal report. A signal report comprises two numbers, the first being readability, the second being signal strength.
Readability is a subjective measure and rates the readability on a scale of one to five. The agreed protocol for readability is described below:
- Unreadable
- Barely readable, occasional words distinguishable
- Readable with considerable difficulty
- Readable with practically no difficulty
- Perfectly readable
