This feature not available in GP360.

But I know that you can change some value in firmware binary file to enable it. I have no more details about, but absolutely sure. Just because my familiar do that.

Please provide link on Moto web page where you read it.

I know that some pages declares this feature for GP360, but this is just error.

Actually no RSSI indicator in GP360.

P.S.
US market HT Series is better that EMEA market radios. In EMEA radios: no zones (!), no clock, no RSSI indicator, less convenient CPS...

You must have programming cable, flash adaptor, flash tool and firmware file. And expirience to find correspondent value in binary file.
