Question: 1 / 545

What should you do if a CW station sends "QRS"?

Send slower

When a CW (continuous wave) station sends "QRS," they are requesting that you send at a slower speed. The Q-code "QRS" specifically indicates that the station is having difficulty understanding the current transmission rate, and they want you to decrease the speed of your Morse code signal for better clarity. This is a common practice in communication to ensure that both parties can effectively exchange information without misunderstanding or missing critical content.

In contrast, changing frequency, increasing power, or repeating everything twice may not necessarily address the issue of transmission speed and could lead to further confusion or communication difficulties between operators. Therefore, the appropriate response is to adjust your sending speed in accordance with their request.
