RST Code - Strength

Strength

The S stands for "Strength". Strength is an assessment of how powerful the received signal is at the receiving location. Although an accurate signal strength meter can determine a quantitative value for signal strength, in practice this portion of the RST code is a qualitative assessment, often made based on the S meter of the radio receiver at the location of signal reception. "Strength" is measured on a scale of 1 to 9.

  1. Faint signal, barely perceptible
  2. Very weak
  3. Weak
  4. Fair
  5. Fairly good
  6. Good
  7. Moderately strong
  8. Strong
  9. Very strong signals
