What does "WEAK BUT READABLE" indicate?

• A. The transmission is strong but unreadable.
• B. The transmission is weak but readable.
• C. The transmission is completely garbled.
• D. The channel is offline.

Answer: (B)

WEAK BUT READABLE means the signal is faint, but you can still understand the message. The audio may have hiss or some static, yet the words come through clearly enough to grasp the meaning and act on it. This is better than something that’s completely garbled (unreadable) and far from a channel that’s offline (no transmission at all). In practice, you’d handle it as usable but you might seek a brief clarification if a critical detail isn’t clearly heard.
