Is it possible to show db values instead of percentage?

Post by luweitest »

I have a v8 finder. If I understand it correctly, the percentage values of signal strength and quality are calculated according to corresponding db values. I think it would be more proper and convenient to show the db values, as it could be compared across various finders, while percentage values are hard to compare because the calculation formula is different between receivers, even from the same vendor GTmedia.

I hope there could be a firmware update to address this.

would it be possible to have the same possibility with the GTMedia Combo?
Many Dxers use this receiver and for us the dB value is much more important than the %
