# Received Signal Strength
Find how strong the ``radio`` signal is, from `255` to `0`.
(`255` means a weak signal and `0` means a strong one.)
The micro:bit finds the signal strength by checking how strong it was
the last time it ran the
[receive number](/reference/radio/receive-number) function. That means
it needs to run **receive number** first.
### Returns
* a [number](/reference/types/number) between `255` and `0` that means
how strong the signal is.
## Simulator
This function only works on the micro:bit, not in browsers.
### Example
This example shows how strong the radio signal of the
[light level sender example](/reference/input/send-number) is.
```blocks
let x = 0;
radio.setGroup(99);
basic.forever(() => {
x = radio.receiveNumber();
basic.showNumber(radio.receivedSignalStrength());
});
```
