If your signal is received poorly by the other party, which code should you reference?

• A. Receiving Poorly
• B. Receiving Well
• C. Repeat
• D. Acknowledgement

Answer: (A)

When the radio link isn’t coming through clearly, you use the code that communicates reception quality to the other party. Referencing “Receiving poorly” tells them right away that your transmission isn’t being heard clearly on their end, so they know the issue is with the signal. This prompts practical next steps to restore clarity, such as asking you to repeat, switching to a different channel, or moving to a better location. It’s the most direct way to convey the specific problem without needing a long explanation. Saying the signal is “receiving well” would be incorrect here, since the situation is the opposite. Likewise, asking to “repeat” or using an “acknowledgement” serves different purposes and wouldn’t directly flag the current radio-path condition.
