RSSI and RSSI!
These commands continuously display the radio’s Received Signal
Strength Indication (RSSI) in dBm units. Incoming signal strengths
from –50 dBm to –120 dBm are displayed.
The
RSSI command causes display of received signal strength, updated
once every second. Press to terminate the display.
The RSSI! command displays a one-time reading of the RSSI at the
diagnostic port.
RX [xxx.xxx]
This command sets or displays the radio’s receive frequency in MHz.
The frequency must be an integer multiple of the step size and must be
in the valid range. If the entered frequency is invalid, the terminal
interface displays the message
INCORRECT ENTRY.
NOTE: The frequency must be in the valid range for the sub-band
purchased, and may not be programmed “between” channels.
RXTOT [NONE | 1–255]
The
RXTOT command sets or displays the receive time-out timer value in
minutes. This timer triggers an alarm (event 12) if data is not detected
within the specified time.

RXTOT command without a parameter displays the timer
value in minutes. Entering the
RXTOT command with a parameter
ranging from 1 to 255 resets the timer in minutes. Entering the
RXTOT
command with the parameter
