Yes, something like this... but in conjunction to the different RSSI, you would also see a disparity in the TX/RX link. reducing the power would end up exaggerating the difference..
Your units don't appear to have this problem... you also are running it rather hot at -50 :) You might consider turning down the power a bit :) How far apart are these two units and what is the firmware you are using..
