A term used to describe a digital voice transmission that is received in a fringe area and is pixelated, resulting in a low delivered audio
quality (DAQ). In this condition, the decoded signal's bit error rate (BER) has exceeded a critical value. This results in strange sounds that
sound like "gollywobbles" instead of understandable speech.
After the sheriff narrowbanded his
radio system and went to digital, the dispatcher sounded
like gollywobbles every time his deputies drove through the valley.
