25mW. This power level can be increased as an option. Being able to set the periodic message at a lower level means that if the MReX-MB1 is used as a pendant, a frequent low power transmission could be used to determine if someone is in proximity to a location of interest. -
Page 13: Busy
BB is the signal level from 0 to -130 (in dBm). In this example the channel will be considered “busy” if signal strength is above -80dBm. Typical usage: *CH_BUSY=-80<CR> Page 13 of 34 © WTE Limited, 2021 – Christchurch New Zealand... -
