[kismac] Re: What does signal strength mean?

150+.  Wow!  I have a NetGear 814 that produced 77 from its omni 
antenna a couple of inches away.  I replaced that with a panel antenna 
and it jumped to 92.  I thought that was pretty good.  What are you 
doing to get 150?  By the time I get to my office the signal is down to 
about 26 and the difference between the omni and the panel is down to 
about 4!  I got the panel hoping to boost the strength in my office but 
there must be too many walls in the way
