    RX quality and RX level are measures of received signal quality and power. RX quality is measured on a scale of 0 to 7 corresponding to increasing bit error rates, while RX level is measured in dBm and typically becomes negative due to propagation loss exceeding transmit power. Acceptable ranges for RX quality and RX level depend on factors like clutter and desired coverage but generally RX quality should be above 5 and RX level higher than the mobile station's sensitivity which is around -102 dBm.
