That is what I thought. But, its erratic response and inconsistent levels when compared to the readings the bar graph on the scanner itself; made me question this?
It shows what the radio reports. The radio is not calibrated so the signal strength indication is often sporadic. The bar graph has only 5 bars available so is usually more steady than a virtual meter like this.

If you enable a field in the scanners display to show dBm signal values it should be the same value that ARC uses to drive its signal strength meter. If it differs, then it might be a USB communication error, some data are compromised that also could affect other data that ARC needs for its virtual display. No other issues using ARC?

After enabling the values you suggested, the signal meter is acting as expected. Thank you
