[PPRAANet] FM SIGNAL REPORTS

[Paul Signorelli]

FM SIGNAL REPORTS from K0NR's Blog....

FM signal reports are often given in terms of receiver quieting. A strong signal will fully quiet an FM receiver, while a weak one will be quite noisy. A “full quieting” report is given to a signal which exhibits no background noise or hiss. Signal reports are often given in terms of “percent quieting” to give the transmitting station a better idea of the signal quality.

This can actually be measured with an audio AC meter.
