  1. Auto Scan - Scans all bands until a signal with good signal strength is found.
  2. Manual Mode - Will hold on a manually selected channel.
  3. Band Scanner - Scans all bands and presents them with a signal strength bar graph.
  4. Settings Menu - Saves last used channel and mode for next power cycle. This is also where you enter RSSI calibration mode.
    1. Calibrate RSSI - Calibrate the min and max RSSI values.

Initial Setup

When powering on for the first time it is best to calibrate your RSSI modules. No two modules have the same RSSI min and max readings. To calibrate follow these steps below. You can repeat this process as many times as needed.

  1. Go to the settings menu and follow the calibrate RSSI steps on the screen.
