APX 6000XE RSSI Display not working

[ElectricalFlo]

Good afternoon all,

I have an APX6000XE 3.5 with firmware R12.05.00 and I am attempting to get RSSI to be displayed on my screen but I haven't been able to get it to work. In the CPS, I have Conventional RSSI Display enabled with a RSSI Display Timer of 15sec.

Conventional Personality> (Name of Personality)> Features> Conventional RSSI Display> [Checked]

Is there something else that I need to enable in order for the RSSI to be displayed? Or perhaps I need to disable something that may be interfering?

Or could it be that my firmware is too old and I need to upgrade? I am lead to believe that this may not be the case because I don't think the feature would be available in my CPS if it wasn't compatible but I could be wrong.


Any leads appreciated.

You need to update your firmware for conventional rssi

Make sure you are not in scan mode when your trying to monitor the RSSI, your firmware is also most likely way to low, latest firmware is 29.

Do you know what firmware was the earliest used to enable RSSI for conventional?

Yea I thought that may be the reason but no, it doesn't work with or without scan.

I believe R30 was very recently released but yes I might have to upgrade my firmware.

Looks like 14.51.00 back in 2016. However I would still update to the latest FW that you can. Latest I show for the standard APX models (non-NXT) is 30.02.00 as of June 6th.
