-The modem recalibrates the noise floor periodically (every 2 s) from RX samples when idle. The receiver AGC is also reset periodically (every 30 s) so RSSI and noise floor do not drift to the minimum (-120). Typical range after calibration is about -120 to -90 dBm. Values may be 0 or briefly stale until the radio has been in receive mode long enough to collect 64 samples.
+The modem recalibrates the noise floor every two seconds with an AGC reset every 30 seconds.
