To calculate the QDR (magnetic bearing FROM the station) from an RBI reading:
A
QDR = MH + RB + 180
B
QDR = RB - MH
C
QDR = MH + RB (the QDM) plus or minus 180
CorrectD
QDR = RB only
Explanation
QDR = QDM +/- 180 degrees. First calculate QDM (MH + RB), then add or subtract 180 to get the reciprocal bearing FROM the station.
