XPR 6580 [INCLUDES RSSI to dBm CHART!]

Does anybody have the table that shows the RSSI value in dBm in relation to the relative value of signal strength of a site when the XPR 6580 is programmed as a smart zone portable?
For example: when hitting the button that is programmed for "Site Display", the display will show which site it is on and a relative value that indicates the signal strength. I need to know how to convert the relative value the portable is giving to a value in dBm.

Thanks for the help.

I checked the basic and detailed service manuals for you and came up dry.

You could take a service monitor or other RF generator, connect it directly to the radio's antenna port, and then see how much signal you need to get the same level on the portable that you got out in the field.
