"hello, in my case, just sending 
0xFE 0x09 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
gets me the answer!
tha telemetry firmware does not care about crc or anything else.
the "oh there is a GCS connected lets inject a RADIO_STATUS message" function is this:

"hello, i have found the solution. 

its somewhat easy.

how MP calculates telemetry RSSI?
For these values:
rssi: 180ish
remrssi: 180ish…"
