Respective rating used to report
ballpark signal strength and clarity of a transmission. So a
5 by 1 means a strong signal is present, but what is saying cannot be understood. 1 by 5 means you can understand them, but a signal is barely coming in. 5 by 5 is ideal for both counts.
Can also be used nowadays to
mean one is doing well.
Example:
Ex. A) –
command to alpha2IC, do you
read?
-command this is alpha2IC,
I got you 5 by 5.
b) How’s it going?
I’m 5 by 5.

This is an old
aeronautical radio term. Radio signal strength and clarity were measured on a scale of 1 to 5. Today the term "
Loud and Clear" is preferred to "5 by 5".
In slang use "5 by 5" means things are well, good, or
as expected.
Example:
