Cc1101 basic test problems

So ive ran a basic test and im returning a value of 103.0 @ 433mhz… i have 2 flippers, one of which i have barely used and that too is returning with that value. I have both the 433 and 900mhz bundles from tehrabbit and with those im recieving a value of right around 98-99dbm… what is going on with my flippers? I cannot figure it out because im not getting the kind of distance i should expect to get out of a CC1101 module… any help? Thanks in advance.

Is this number dbm as well? There are many reasons why one CC1101 and another might receive signals very differently. In this case I would suspect the antenna as the most likely culprit. It could be as simple as antenna polarization.

Gotcha thanks, ill try some different antennas.
