    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.

      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.
