Are there any way to get RSSI value from the incoming packet. For XBee Series 1, we have getRssi() function in XBee-Arduino or XBee api library. But I’m now trying with Series 2 and I would like to avoid sending DB command to measure RSSI.

nyeinayemm,

Check [this post](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/xbee-api/6lE7s5kcG0k). I think it’s the same question.

Thanks fgilmar. I got the answer from this forum that ‘it’s not supported to read RSSI value from incoming packet as series 1’ .
