I did make tests (using that same lme2510 + rs2000 device) and didn't 
saw the issue TS was lost. Could test and and tell me how to reproduce it?
Signal strength returned was quite boring though, about same value all

I assume lme2510 firmware will read signal strength from rs2000 and it 
is returned then directly by USB interface.
