Assessing reception quality
In order to be able to tell the respective conversation partner how loud and clear you are
receiving him/her, the numbers of the R/S code are used. The R value ("Radio") stands for
readability and the S value ("Santiago") stands for the reception and volume of the outstation.
The letters R and S are abbreviations for the terms "readability" and "signal strength".
R/S code
R = readability
1 Unreadable, unintelligible
2 Barely readable, occasional words distinguishable
3 Readable with considerable difficulty
4 Readable with practically no difficulty
5 Perfectly readable
