The random error of radioastronomical measurements is usually computed in the
weak-signal limit, which assumes that the system temperature is sensibly the
same on and off source, or with and without a spectral line. This assumption is
often very poor. We give examples of common situations in which it is important
to distinguish the system noise in signal-bearing and signal-free regions.
