How do you interpret these?

A rough guide is that if you are a stationary high power (50W) mobile you should gain access at full quieting around “S2” at the extent of the Dark Blue coverage. Mobile coverage with reasonable copy with 50W would be the light blue band. Handheld access would begin in the Green coverage zone.

Note: home stations will do much better as this is a mobile prediction which assumes a car antenna 1.5m above the ground with 0dBD gain.
