My RSSI values do not seem to be accurate beyond a -60dBM signal in my RLX-IFH9E/RLXIFH24E radio. Why?

Due to the design and physical limitations of the RLX-IFH9E and RLX-IFH24E radios, any RSSI values reported that are greater than -60dBm is not accurate. These values cannot be compared to provide a meaningful status of the signal level.

For example, an RSSI reported as -39dBm at one time and -39dBm at another time from the same radio does not mean the signal level is the same. In addition, an RSSI reported as -40dbm is not necessarily a better signal than one reported as -50dbm.

Values above -60dBm will be reported as Max. Values -60dBm and below down to the threshold of operation (about -100dBm) are accurate to within a few dB.

As of July 27, 2010, the latest version is 3.21/1/102. It is planned to address this issue in a future release of ControlScape.
