I used Dronehacks app to go back to 0600. Just download the 0600 FW from dankdownloader

Sorry your still having these problems mate, mine has been behaving fine since exchanging it a month or so now. Really pleased with its performance just a bit harsh on the breaking and like a lot out there waiting on Waypoints.. but Gps, Airsense and OA, are all working fine and no complaints about the range.  I am impressed with the nifty mode, for me it works really well.
I have stuck with the cheap standard RC, miss the 5d switch and 2nd wheel but at the moment that's a compromise for using a larger screen tablet, but overall I am finally enjoying my purchase now.
Maybe you should get in touch with Dji and exchange both the drone and RC and see how that go's. Any way I hope you get sorted mate.

Sorry to hear you are having problems with your M3 Suren. I actually did not notice signal issue with the latest firmware 0800 and the one before 0700 (if not mistaken on the version #s, but I mean latest and the one before). I have flown the same path as before and it seems the signal is more or less the same for me. The only thing is I might be overlooking it as I don't remember exactly what signal levels I had at what distance and height, but its not apparent for my case that I am having signal issues on latest firmware. I am on FCC in US. Hope you get yours sorted. I also saw you mentioned AirSense issues, it seems to be working for me, but I did not verify to the extent you did where you actually saw a helicopter and it wasn't shown on the screen. Hope you get your sorted bud.

Best, Mike.

I am not 100% sure now I am thinking about it, but I did not see anything obvious where ranger was worse than before...

Thanks Mike. I am hopeful Dji gets this working with Airsense etc like it was back during the 0300 FW. The signal issues was that on the RC it showed 4 bars signal then went to 0, no gradual decrease in signal strength like it does in the 0600 RC Pro FW.

Dji tries to fix one thing and breaks something else. I don't see many complaints but maybe no one is really looking at these things in depth

Try a long flight and look at your signal bar, if you have RC Pro. With the RC N1 on firmware 0800 i had no issues

The RC-N1 firmware has not been updated with the last two Mavic 3 firmware updates. Maybe this can explain your experience.

I hear you Suren. Hope DJI figures this out. I will keep an eye on signal level as well.

I am actually using RC Pro, never tried RC-N1, will keep eye on signal bar in the future...
