Spanish equivalent for "roger"
When speaking on the radio, what is the Spanish equivalent for "roger"? Also, what's the equivalent for "over" and ''out"?
For "roger", which means "received and understood", the Spanish equivalent could be "recibí" but that might not be the conventional response among Spanish radio users.
Perhaps someone familiar with Spanish radio voice procedure or who watches war or police drama can enlighten me? Thanks.

Any sailor would cringe on hearing 'over and out'. 'Over' indicates that you are freeing the channel for the other to speak, 'out' indicates that you are terminating the communication. You cannot do both at the same time!
Roger = recibido/entendido
Over = cambio
Out = fuera
I hear these all the time on the radio here in La Paz. I actually think entendido is more comon than recibido. But that may just be my perception.
R R cambio y fuera
Roger! - ¡recibido!
Over and out. - Cambio y cierro. ![]()
