Which code indicates that your unit is 'Out of Service'?

• A. Out of Service
• B. In Service
• C. Receiving Poorly
• D. Repeat

Answer: (A)

In radio communications, how your unit’s status is conveyed tells the dispatcher whether you’re available for new calls. Being In Service means you’re ready to take assignments. Out of Service means you’re not available for new calls—perhaps you’re finishing a task, taking a break, or otherwise unavailable. The other two options don’t indicate availability: “Receiving Poorly” describes radio signal quality, not whether you can accept work, and “Repeat” is a request to repeat the last transmission. So the code that indicates your unit is not available is Out of Service.
