5.13. RSSI MENU
The RSSI screen displays the received signal strength in dBm. When the radio has been
correctly calibrated, the reading is typically accurate to within ±2 dBm between the
range of −120 dBm and −80 dBm. For example, −90 dBm is a strong signal and −120
dBm is no signal.
On digital channels, the RSSI screen also shows the Bit Error Rate (BER). RSSI and BER
are typically used to indicate signal quality.
From the Setup menu, use the ▼ /▲ keys to scroll through the sub-menus and, with
the RSSI menu option displayed, press the OK key to access the RSSI screen.
If a digital channel is selected, the BER will also be displayed.
The RSSI/BER will be displayed until either the ‘M’ key is pressed to return to the next
highest menu level or the OK key is pressed to return to the main channel screen.
A lower RSSI value indicates a stronger signal, i.e. −80 dBm is a stronger signal than
−100 dBm.
