I should have mentioned that: I'm using 3.3V to power the RXB6.

Re: RSSI info / provide signal strength

Correct, I left the R6 in place and bridged R7. On the board I destroyed, I removed R6 and nothing worked. A little solder dropped on R6 in the pic, but I didn't want to remove it for fear of removing the resistor. R5 I believe is to enable power saving mode, which I don't need, so I didn't try. The...

Re: RSSI info / provide signal strength

I think I figured it out - at least it works for me. I have the same board as you have (white sticker in your picture). On mine the RSSI was not enabled. I enabled it by soldering the two contact point together in the red circle. Out of interest, I destroyed one board by taking off the chip to inspe...

Re: RSSI info / provide signal strength

I did some more research. The RXB6 that I have use the SYN500R chip. See the datasheet for the SYN500R chip at http://www.xie-gang.com/SYN500R.pdf

I looked at the RXB6 board and the chip's RSSI pin is not connected to anything (see attached pic).
SYN500R chip. Pin 3 is RSSI. On this board it's not connected.

Re: RSSI info / provide signal strength

I to purchased some RXB6 receivers V2.0. They seemed legit, but I could not get RSSI to work. The DER pin was a duplicate of the DATA pin, so I though I was mislead. Then I found the following link on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/433-92MHz-433MHz-Enable-RSSI-Optional-RF-ASK-Wireless-Module-/2316316...
