the menus with the ▼ and ▲ keys until the “Mode” menu is reached.
Press “OK” to select the Mode menu.
From the “Mode” menu, use the ▼ and ▲ keys to select the required operating mode, such

4.2.11 RSSI
This screen displays the received signal strength in dBm. The reading is typically accurate
within +/- 2 dBm between –120dBm and -80dBm, when the radio has been correctly
calibrated. For example, -90dBm is a strong signal and –120dBm is no signal.
The screen also shows the Bit Error Rate (BER) on digital channels. RSSI and BER are
typically used to indicate signal quality.
From the Settings Sub Menu, step through the menu options with the ▼ and ▲ keys until the
“RSSI” menu is displayed.
