The Amateur radio R-S-T system signal report format currently in use was first developed in 1934. [citation needed] As early as 1943, the U.S and UK military published the first guidance that included the modern "Weak but readable", "Strong but distorted", and "Loud and clear" phrases. [citation needed]
QSA and QRK radio signal reports. The QSA code and QRK code are interrelated and complementary signal reporting codes for use in wireless telegraphy ( Morse code ). An enhanced format, SINPO code, was published in the ITU Radio Regulations, Geneva, 1959, [1] but is longer and unwieldy for use in the fast pace of Morse code communications.
R-S-T system. S-Meter (ICOM IC-732 HF Transceiver) The R-S-T system is used by amateur radio operators, shortwave listeners, and other radio hobbyists to exchange information about the quality of a radio signal being received. The code is a three digit number, with one digit each for conveying an assessment of the signal's readability, strength ...
A plain-language radio check is the means of requesting and giving a signal strength and readability report for radiotelephony (voice) communications, and is the direct equivalent to the QSA and QRK code used to give the same report in radiotelegraph ( Morse code) communications. SINPEMFO code is the voice signal reporting format developed by ...
16-line message format. 16-line message format, or Basic Message Format, is the standard military radiogram format (in NATO allied nations) for the manner in which a paper message form is transcribed through voice, Morse code, or TTY transmission formats. The overall structure of the message has three parts: HEADING (which can use as many as 10 ...
WSPR (pronounced "whisper") is an acronym for Weak Signal Propagation Reporter. It is a protocol, implemented in a computer program, used for weak- signal radio communication between amateur radio operators. The protocol was designed, and a program written initially, by Joe Taylor, K1JT. The software code is now open source and is developed by ...
SINPO code explained. The relative strength of the transmission. Interference from other stations on the same or adjacent frequencies. The amount of atmospheric or man-made noise. Whether the signal is steady or fades from time to time. An overall score for the listening experience under these conditions. Each category is rated from 1 to 5 with ...
