Parameter
Description
rssi
Received background noise signal strength in dBm for open channel
(integer). For reliable operation, this value should consistently be less than
(more negative) than
-93
dBm
rssi_sat
Received signal strength in dBm for packet (integer)
snr
Signal to noise ratio in dB for packet (integer)
fdev
Frequency deviation in Hz for packet (integer)
time
Date and time (UTC) of received packet
sat_id
Device ID of satellite heard
Notes:
<rate>
is a value between 1 and 2147483647 (2
31
-1). It will be the number of seconds in
between each message. If
<rate>
is 0, no messages will be sent, and no packets received
from a satellite will be displayed.
For reliable performance, the noise floor can be measured with an antenna connected to the
device in the final built up configuration. The value reported by
$RT
should be less than (a
larger negative number) than
-93
dBm. If the noise floor is greater than
-93
dBm (e.g. -88 dBm),
then the customer should relocate the device to a different location.
Examples:
Calling the most recent receive test message. This will return the last packet received from a
satellite:
$RT @*66
$RT RSSI=-102,SNR=-1,FDEV=426,TS=2020-10-02 13:56:21,DI=0x000568*04
Returns a satellite packet RSSI of
-102
dBm, SNR of
-1
dB, frequency deviation of
426
hz, a
received time of
October 2nd, 2020 at 1:56:21 PM
, and the satellite’s device ID is
0x000568
.
