Why not adjust by 10dB? Speculating: in a typical card, RSSI is calculated by firmware from readings of ADCs attached to the receiver. Firmware may average several readings. Firmware may apply other offsets or calibrations, based on frequency and temperature. This sounds like a firmware problem. > Signed-off-by: Jean Pierre TOSONI <jp.tosoni@xxxxxxxxx> > [...] -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/
