Goodyear deactivated their analog dispatch 856.9625 and went digital. Did they join RWC and if so, any idea their site and talk group?
Thank you very much. Can you tell me what 5x5 means?And I'm hearing them 5x5, TG 4999 on West Valley.
LOL, ok I wasn't sure if u were doing an RS(T) or not there. To me "loud and clear" would be 59(9 if cw). I'm a heavy CW Op and am use to having my RST's with 3 digits. ThxWirelessly posted (Opera/9.80 (BREW; Opera Mini/6.0.3/27.2354; U; en) Presto/2.8.119 320X240 LG VN530)
It's an old phrase meaning loud and clear.
It was a 2 part scale the 1st was signal level the 2nd was clarity, you could be 5 x 3 where your signal is solid but you're marginal to understand or 2 x 5 where you have little signal but still able to copy you perfectly. I remember this term from 30 or 40 years ago back when (mostly hams) ran the big police radio systems and their radio checks were always delivered in this format. I guess today with everything being digital the signal is irrelevant and only the quality is considered.Thank you very much. Can you tell me what 5x5 means?
Oops - I revealed my vintage once again!I remember this term from 30 or 40 years ago back ....
