I just looked at the received signal strength of another RFU and it showed in the mid -20dBms about five feet apart on the bench. When I put the RFU in a cook pot the signal strength went down to the mid -40dMbs. I used to get an excel file with the RSSI values - how did I do that?
I used the XPS RSSI application to look at my transmitters:
Futaba 9C with Futaba XPS module: Strongest RSSI was -36dBm, one room away behind one wall and the fridge -57dBm, inside the fridge -77dBm, 8 channels with 22.627ms frames (PPM)
Taranis with XPS JR Module: Strongest RSSI was -36dBm, one room away behind one wall and the fridge -57dBm, inside the fridge -77dBm, 16 channels with 18ms frames (XJT-D16)
Since both transmitter modules performed similarly, I reckon my problem is not with the transmitter.
