- AYour signal is moderately readable with moderate strength
- BYour signal is very readable and very strong
- CYour signal is unreadable, and barely perceptible
- DYour signal is 11 dB over S9
Correct answer: C — Your signal is unreadable, and barely perceptible. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
In the Canadian signal report system, the first number rates readability from 1 (unreadable) to 5 (perfectly readable), while the second number rates signal strength from 1 (barely perceptible) to 9 (very strong). The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
