Default Signal Strength Bar settings

With the PSR-500, the received signal strength bar settings can be customized.
For example, I have one bar = 440, five bars = 750.
How do you set the signal strength bar settings for the PSR-800?
I'd like to compare the sensitivity of the PSR-500, Pro-106 and PSR-800.
(My Pro-106 seems to be more sensitive than my PSR-500, based on the bars.)

Unfortunately you can not `adjust' the signal strength indicators' levels like one can do with the 500/600s.

Unless you have a calibrated signal generator of some type, you won't be able to adjust the "S-Meter" settings and use it to compare receiver sensitive.

In Win500, the RSSI Bar Threshold settings are at the bottom left of the Extended Settings tab.

I'm not sure that you can change those without using a program like Win500.

Has anyone ever done that?
Is there a published listing of the RSSI values that correspond to the bar settings in the PSR-800?
If I can't set the PSR-800 to correspond to my PSR-500 settings, maybe I could do the opposite.
