RSSI Values:
The QFMR6 RSSI output provides a DC output proportional to the RF input signal. The table shows the
typical RSSI value depending on the RF signal strength

RF Signal strength / dBm
Note that the region between –90 and –70 is with receiver AGC (automatic gain control) operating.
If required, a receiver version with AGC disabled can be provided as a factory pre-set option. This would
linearise the RSSI curve.
