Evaluating the reception quality
For informing the respective contact partner clearly on the strength
and quality of reception, the numbers of the R/S code are used.
The R-value is used for comprehensibility (readability) and the
S-value (Santiago) for signal strength and/or volume of the contact
partner.
Both letters R and S are abbreviations standing for readability
and signal strength.
R = readability
1 not readable, incomprehensible
2 temporarily or partially readable
3 difficult to read
4 readable, comprehensible
5 easy to read
The S-value (= signal strength) can be read on the S-meter.
