In this work, we precisely measure the transition energies between the Rydberg state nD5/2 to the nearby Rydberg states (\en+2)P3/2, (\en-2)F7/2 for the range 41≤ \en≤46. This was done by carrying out microwave spectroscopy via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) in a room temperature vapor reference cell of Rubidium, which is similar to the experimental approach followed by Li et al. [Results in Physics 29, 104728 (2021)]. This range is interesting because there is a quasi Förster resonance between the atomic pair 43D5/2+43D5/2 and 45P3/2+41F7/2. We compared the obtained results with numerically calculated transition energies based on previously tabulated quantum defect numbers by various research groups using both hot and ultra-cold atomic samples. Our data are more consistent with measurements made within ultra-cold atomic systems [Phys. Rev. A 67, 052502 (2003), Phys. Rev. A 74, 054502 (2006)].
