Jacek Jackiewicz replied to John Grouse's discussion RC Rx RSSI signal strength read and relay to ground station?
"Hi, there other options :
1. use new DX8 or new DX7 with telemetry which has RSSI
2. use Eagletree OSD or similar which allows you to feedback RSSI for your RX and for your video signal.
 
I so not use Xbee  i have  no experience with it.
