5 by 5 = loud and clear...
this is a scale from 1 to 5
the first number indicates signal strength
second number indicates signal quality

It's an indication of signal strength and intelligibility. So 5 5 is excellent signal strength and perfect intelligibility. 5 by 3 would be you're a bit weak but I understand everything. 4 by 2 would be you are weak and I only understand your transmission with difficulty etc.

where did you hear it? Usually 5 by 5 or other things like refers to a measurement of something, that's all i can think of.
