Description
Might be missing something here but you can use this block from Radio:
and then drop other value blocks over what seems to be the "signal strength" value input, but that doesn't make any sense.
It feels like the choice of signal strength, time, serial number should just be a field, like x/y/z on the acceleration block.
No obvious negative consequences, we just see zero values in the case above.

Research direction
Start by opening the shared MakeCode project and reproducing the Radio received packet block behavior in the blocks editor. Inspect the Radio block definition and compare its signal strength, time, and serial number inputs with the acceleration block's x/y/z fields; done means those choices are fields rather than accepting arbitrary value blocks.
