Firstly, convert hex value to decimal (for example, 0xFF = 255)

Secondly, get the raw RSSI value by taking 256 out of the converted value
(for example, 255-256 = -1)

Finally, get the dBm by adding -45 (offset) (for example, -1+(-45) = -46
dBm)

I'm not sure about the last one, you should refer to the CC1000
specification.

Hope this helps.
